Oh, let our love survive

00:00:10,647 --> 00:00:14,253
I'll dry the tears
from your eyes
4
00:00:16,015 --> 00:00:20,292
Let's don't let
a good thing die
5

[woman singing]
Snowman's coming
6
00:00:39,815 --> 00:00:42,706
Yes, he's coming
7
00:00:42,842 --> 00:00:47,513
He'll take you by the hand
8
00:00:47,649 --> 00:00:50,250
He'll say one, two, three

[panting rapidly]
10
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:53,820
And you will be...
11
00:00:54,864 --> 00:00:59,926
In cotton candy land
12
00:01:00,061 --> 00:01:02,032
[man] For those of you
who are wondering,
13
00:01:02,168 --> 00:01:05,272
who this fella here is,
14
00:01:05,407 --> 00:01:10,903
I am the legendary
Colonel Tom Parker.
15
00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:25,624
[newscaster]
Colonel Tom Parker,
legendary manager
16
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,629
of Elvis Presley, has been
rushed to Valley Hospital.
17
00:01:29,764 --> 00:01:34,227
[Parker] I am the man who
gave the world Elvis Presley.
18
00:01:34,362 --> 00:01:36,469
[siren wailing]
19
00:01:36,604 --> 00:01:42,171
Without me, there would be
no Elvis Presley.
20
00:01:42,307 --> 00:01:44,101
And yet, there are some
21
00:01:44,237 --> 00:01:47,572
who'd make me out
to be the villain
22
00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:49,348
of this here story.
23
00:01:57,249 --> 00:02:00,458
["Suspicious Minds" by
Presley playing faintly]
24
00:02:04,461 --> 00:02:09,029
[newscaster 1]
Colonel Tom Parker
was a liar, a cheat, a con man.
25
00:02:09,165 --> 00:02:12,503
A shocking new book
accuses Colonel Tom Parker
26
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,132
of massive fraud
and mis-management.
27
00:02:17,842 --> 00:02:21,674
Parker received as much
as 50% of Elvis' income.
28
00:02:21,809 --> 00:02:23,548
He worked Elvis like a mule,
29
00:02:23,683 --> 00:02:25,442
to support his own
gambling addiction.
30
00:02:25,578 --> 00:02:27,220
[newscaster 2] The court finds
that the compensation received
31
00:02:27,355 --> 00:02:29,289
by Colonel Parker
was excessive,
32
00:02:29,425 --> 00:02:31,118
and shocked the conscience
of the court.
33
00:02:31,253 --> 00:02:32,888
[newscaster 1] Many believe
that Colonel Tom Parker
34
00:02:33,024 --> 00:02:35,856
was responsible for the death
of Elvis Presley.
35
00:02:37,627 --> 00:02:39,156
[Parker] Now, you listen to me.
36
00:02:39,292 --> 00:02:42,331
The only thing that matters
is that that man
37
00:02:42,467 --> 00:02:44,832
gets up on that stage tonight.

His truth is marching on
46
00:04:07,348 --> 00:04:10,252
[newscaster, voice echoing]
Tom Parker killed him!
47
00:04:10,388 --> 00:04:13,452
No! That's not true.
48
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:15,593
[breath shaking]
49
00:04:20,297 --> 00:04:21,764
[grunting]
50
00:04:26,273 --> 00:04:30,608
No, no, I didn't kill him.
51
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,514
I made Elvis Presley.
52
00:04:38,151 --> 00:04:41,648
Nothing all those muckrakers
said in their books was true.
53
00:04:41,784 --> 00:04:44,249
Me and Elvis, we was partners.
54
00:04:44,384 --> 00:04:50,288
It was Elvis the Showman
and the Colonel the Snowman.
55
00:04:50,424 --> 00:04:52,192
[female reporter]
This is the lying Dutchman.
56
00:04:52,328 --> 00:04:55,458
[Parker] I always knew I was
destined for greatness.
57
00:04:55,594 --> 00:04:58,329
As an orphan,
I ran away to the carnival,
58
00:04:58,464 --> 00:05:01,368
where I learned the art
of the "snow job,"
59
00:05:01,503 --> 00:05:04,576
of emptying a rube's wallet
while leaving them with nothing
60
00:05:04,712 --> 00:05:07,205
-but a smile on their face.
-[applause]
61
00:05:07,341 --> 00:05:09,048
But a carnival act
that would get you
62
00:05:09,184 --> 00:05:11,749
the most money, the most snow,
63
00:05:11,884 --> 00:05:15,319
had great costumes
and a unique trick,
64
00:05:15,454 --> 00:05:17,248
that gave the audience feelings
65
00:05:17,384 --> 00:05:20,652
they weren't sure
they should enjoy.
66
00:05:20,787 --> 00:05:22,727
But they do.
67
00:05:22,862 --> 00:05:27,924
And I knew if I could
find such an act,
68
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:31,903
I could create the greatest...
69
00:05:32,039 --> 00:05:33,367
show...
70
00:05:33,502 --> 00:05:34,507
on...
71
00:05:35,404 --> 00:05:38,042
earth.
72
00:05:38,177 --> 00:05:41,511
After the carnival, I moved
into the music business...
73
00:05:41,646 --> 00:05:44,246
the country music business.
74
00:05:44,381 --> 00:05:48,718
I partnered with one of its
biggest stars, Hank Snow.
75
00:05:48,853 --> 00:05:54,390
Pardon me
if I'm sentimental
76
00:05:54,526 --> 00:05:56,828
When we say goodbye
77
00:05:56,964 --> 00:06:01,198
[Parker] And his hapless son,
Jimmie Rodgers Snow.
78
00:06:01,334 --> 00:06:02,267
Hot-diggity-dog, Billy.
79
00:06:02,403 --> 00:06:04,504
-I got one.
-Oh, yeah.
80
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:07,239
Can't believe it.
Blow their socks off.
81
00:06:07,374 --> 00:06:09,600
Security. Security, Diskin!
82
00:06:09,735 --> 00:06:12,507
Tell the mayors of these towns
that we need a police escort
83
00:06:12,643 --> 00:06:14,207
for Hank when he arrives.
84
00:06:14,342 --> 00:06:17,349
In Baton Rouge, we are going
to have a carny wedding
85
00:06:17,484 --> 00:06:18,946
at the top of the Ferris Wheel,
86
00:06:19,081 --> 00:06:21,214
so, Zina, pick out
your next husband.
87
00:06:21,349 --> 00:06:23,753
In New Orleans, we're gonna
use the loudspeaker
88
00:06:23,889 --> 00:06:25,783
-to announce you, Hank.
-[Hank] Oh, sure.
89
00:06:25,918 --> 00:06:28,288
[speaking Ciazarn]
90
00:06:28,424 --> 00:06:29,622
[in English]
...you are going to march
in the parade.
91
00:06:29,758 --> 00:06:31,091
[both speaking Ciazarn]
92
00:06:31,226 --> 00:06:33,091
Am I gonna be riding
on an elephant, too?
93
00:06:33,227 --> 00:06:35,264
A man on an elephant
looks important.
94
00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:36,600
And taller.
95
00:06:36,736 --> 00:06:38,065
We still need to get
a novelty act
96
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,138
-to bring in the young folk.
-Well, yes, yes,
97
00:06:40,273 --> 00:06:42,939
that's why you have
a meeting with
the Duke of Paducah tonight.
98
00:06:43,074 --> 00:06:45,270
If we can book "the Funniest
Mouth in the South,"
99
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:46,643
we'll have the greatest show
of the season.
100
00:06:46,779 --> 00:06:47,871
Hey, Jimmie,
turn that record off.
101
00:06:48,007 --> 00:06:49,506
Y'all have to hear this.
102
00:06:49,641 --> 00:06:51,408
Kids all over town
are playing it everywhere I go.
103

["That's All Right"
by Presley playing]
104
00:06:59,227 --> 00:07:00,654
I hear Negro rhythms.
105
00:07:00,790 --> 00:07:02,463
But with a country flavor.
106
00:07:02,598 --> 00:07:04,923
Sun Records?
That's Sam Phillips' label.
107
00:07:05,058 --> 00:07:06,656
[Parker] Oh, yeah, Phillips.
108
00:07:06,792 --> 00:07:09,535
He makes all those race records
with the colored singers.
109
00:07:09,671 --> 00:07:11,435
Well, this fella's
on the Hayride tonight,
110
00:07:11,571 --> 00:07:13,005
after me in the newcomer spot.
111
00:07:13,141 --> 00:07:14,664
In Shreveport?
112
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,309
No, they are not putting
a colored boy on the Hayride.
113
00:07:17,445 --> 00:07:20,514
That's the thing. He's white.
114
00:07:21,147 --> 00:07:22,582
He's...
115
00:07:24,679 --> 00:07:26,147
He's white?
116
00:07:26,282 --> 00:07:27,653

Texarkana?
117
00:07:27,788 --> 00:07:29,514

125
00:07:54,808 --> 00:07:57,880
[Parker] But it don't matter
if you do ten stupid things,

one smart one.

they're buyin' his record.

would I find such an act?

-Oh, sh--

Excuse me. Bill, go time!
145
00:08:55,134 --> 00:08:57,235
[Bill] I know, I know.
146
00:08:57,371 --> 00:08:58,807
-[girl] Hi!
-How's his stomach?
147
00:08:58,942 --> 00:09:00,306
I thought I'd grab him a Pepsi,
148
00:09:00,441 --> 00:09:02,341
but poor thing's still shaking
like a leaf.
149
00:09:02,477 --> 00:09:05,080
I'll get him on the stage.
Come on. Let's go.
150
00:09:07,421 --> 00:09:08,881
-[Elvis groans]
-Here.
151
00:09:09,017 --> 00:09:10,349
It'll settle your stomach.
152
00:09:10,484 --> 00:09:12,189
[Elvis] What if I forget
the words on live radio?
153
00:09:12,324 --> 00:09:14,586
All we gotta do out there's
just a bit of clownin' around.
154
00:09:14,722 --> 00:09:17,288
That's how we got this thing
started in the first place.
155
00:09:17,424 --> 00:09:19,059
Scotty and Bill are right,
Elvis.
156
00:09:19,195 --> 00:09:20,634
You're not out there
on your own.

-You boys are a band.
-[Scotty] That's right.

[Gladys] The Lord gave us music
to bring people together.
159

We're like a family,
160
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,601
and family is the most
important thing of all.
161
00:09:27,737 --> 00:09:29,303
[Vernon] Amen.
162
00:09:29,438 --> 00:09:33,041
Come on now, Booby.
Jesse's shining bright tonight.
163
00:09:33,176 --> 00:09:35,777

upon you.

[Parker] Jesse, Elvis's twin
brother, who died at birth.
167
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:52,756
Tragic.
168
00:09:52,892 --> 00:09:54,960
[doctor] Vernon, come quick!
It's another child!
169
00:09:55,096 --> 00:09:58,467
[Gladys] My darling,
you'll have
the strength of two men.
170
00:09:58,602 --> 00:10:01,201
[Parker] But when
my boy's daddy
passed a bad check
171
00:10:01,337 --> 00:10:02,539
and got carted off
to prison...
172
00:10:02,674 --> 00:10:04,473
[young Elvis shouting]
173
00:10:04,608 --> 00:10:06,142
...the boy and his mama had
to take one of the houses
174
00:10:06,278 --> 00:10:08,505
for white folks
in a colored neighborhood.
175
00:10:08,641 --> 00:10:10,113
[neighbor kid]
New boy! Come over!
176
00:10:10,248 --> 00:10:12,142
[Parker] But that boy
had a big imagination.
177
00:10:12,277 --> 00:10:13,743
[young Elvis speaking]
178
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:15,515
[Parker] He really believed
he was the hero
179
00:10:15,650 --> 00:10:17,519
-in one of them comic books.
-[young Elvis speaking]
180
00:10:17,655 --> 00:10:20,254
[Parker] He was going to bust
his daddy out of the hoosegow
181
00:10:20,390 --> 00:10:24,193
and fly him
to the Rock of Eternity!
182
00:10:24,328 --> 00:10:26,856
[young Elvis] Then he buys
his mama a pink Cadillac.
183
00:10:26,992 --> 00:10:29,169
[Tupelo boy] Pink Cadillac?
What are you talking about?
184
00:10:29,304 --> 00:10:31,029
Hey, fools! Whoo!

[Parker] Them comic book heroes
all have them super powers.
189
00:10:44,814 --> 00:10:48,383
His was music.
190
00:10:48,518 --> 00:10:56,663
That's all right, Mama
That's all right with you

00:10:56,798 --> 00:11:03,660

201
00:11:51,249 --> 00:11:55,783
[all] Oh, I'll fly away
Oh, Glory
202
00:11:55,918 --> 00:11:58,554
I'll fly away
203
00:11:58,690 --> 00:11:59,991
When I die
204
00:12:00,126 --> 00:12:04,024
When I die
Hallelujah, by and by

[Tupelo boy 2]

I'll fly away

[revival singer]
No more preachin', I'll fly
211
00:12:16,269 --> 00:12:17,402
No more pain, I'll fly
212
00:12:17,537 --> 00:12:18,876
[Elvis singing]
I'll fly away
213
00:12:19,012 --> 00:12:20,605
[Tupelo boy]
Hey, fool, come back.
214
00:12:21,616 --> 00:12:23,916
No. He's with the spirit!
215
00:12:24,847 --> 00:12:25,977
It's all right.
216
00:12:26,112 --> 00:12:28,514
[vocalizing]
217
00:12:30,886 --> 00:12:33,959
Ohh

Black snake
crawlin' in my room
219
00:12:36,926 --> 00:12:38,526
[woman] Whoo!
220
00:12:38,661 --> 00:12:42,569
That's all right, Mama
That's all right with you
221
00:12:42,704 --> 00:12:44,470
[man] That's all right, Mama
222
00:12:44,605 --> 00:12:46,466
Anyway you choose

00:12:46,601 --> 00:12:50,409
[Elvis singing]
I'll fly away, oh, Glory
224
00:12:50,544 --> 00:12:53,543
I'll fly away
225
00:12:53,678 --> 00:12:55,644
Oh, away
226
00:12:55,780 --> 00:12:58,279

-Ohhh
-[Elvis] I'll fly away
228
00:13:01,747 --> 00:13:04,022
Elvis. Come on,
you gotta get on in.
229
00:13:04,158 --> 00:13:05,281
They've already announced you
on the radio.
230
00:13:05,417 --> 00:13:07,952
Folks are real excited.
231
00:13:08,087 --> 00:13:10,657
[Parker] At Sun Records,
Sam Phillips was on a mission
232
00:13:10,792 --> 00:13:13,961
to save the world
by recording Black music.
233
00:13:14,097 --> 00:13:16,161
But it didn't sell.
234
00:13:16,297 --> 00:13:17,829
So to pay his bills,
235
00:13:17,965 --> 00:13:21,501
he needed to find a new singer
for his country act.
236
00:13:21,636 --> 00:13:24,401
I don't know what it is
you see in this boy.
237
00:13:24,536 --> 00:13:26,979
I just think he's different.
238
00:13:27,813 --> 00:13:29,883
[feedback squealing]
239
00:13:31,314 --> 00:13:34,085
How do you know
"Big Boy" Crudup?
240
00:13:36,587 --> 00:13:40,255
That's all right, Mama
That's all right for you
241
00:13:40,390 --> 00:13:43,864
That's all right, Mama
Anyway you do
242
00:13:43,999 --> 00:13:47,725
That's all right
That's all right
243
00:13:47,861 --> 00:13:52,628
That's all right now, Mama
Anyway you do
244
00:13:52,764 --> 00:13:54,765
[congregation continues
singing]
245
00:13:56,671 --> 00:13:58,871
He's a young singer
from Memphis, Tennessee.
246
00:13:59,007 --> 00:14:03,445
Got a song out
on the Sun label.
It's all over the radio.
247
00:14:03,580 --> 00:14:07,987
Give him a warm Hayride welcome
to a Mr. Elvis Presley.
248
00:14:11,152 --> 00:14:13,516
[all singing]
249
00:14:13,651 --> 00:14:15,324
[revival singer vocalizing]
250
00:14:17,062 --> 00:14:18,965
[young Elvis panting rapidly]
251
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,137
[music crescendos, ceases]
252
00:14:27,272 --> 00:14:29,266
[emcee] Elvis,
how are you this evening?
253
00:14:29,402 --> 00:14:30,910
Just fine, how you, sir?
254
00:14:31,046 --> 00:14:35,608
[Parker] Greasy hair,
girly makeup.
255
00:14:35,744 --> 00:14:38,910
I cannot overstate
how strange he looked.
256
00:14:39,046 --> 00:14:41,054
[emcee] Are you all geared up
with your band there to...
257
00:14:41,189 --> 00:14:43,322
-I'm all geared up.
-...let us hear your songs?
258
00:14:43,457 --> 00:14:46,056
Uh... well, I'd like to say how
happy we are to be down here.
259
00:14:46,191 --> 00:14:48,027
It's a real honor
for us to be...
260
00:14:48,163 --> 00:14:50,229
Get a chance to appear
on the Louisiana Hayride.
261
00:14:50,365 --> 00:14:52,793
We're gonna do a song for you
we got out on Sun Records.
262
00:14:52,928 --> 00:14:55,362
Uh...
263
00:14:55,498 --> 00:14:56,732
You got anything else
to say, sir?
264
00:14:56,868 --> 00:14:59,005
No. I'm ready.
265
00:15:00,070 --> 00:15:01,568
[exhales nervously]
266
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:04,641
[breath shaking]
267
00:15:04,776 --> 00:15:06,646
It goes...
268
00:15:06,781 --> 00:15:08,542
It goes something like this.
269
00:15:11,620 --> 00:15:12,452
[feedback squealing]
270
00:15:12,587 --> 00:15:13,618
Oh, baby, baby,
271
00:15:13,754 --> 00:15:16,049
Baby, baby, baby
272
00:15:16,185 --> 00:15:18,084
Baby, baby, baby
273
00:15:18,220 --> 00:15:19,250
[hesitant strumming]
274
00:15:19,386 --> 00:15:21,489
Baby, baby, baby
275
00:15:22,554 --> 00:15:23,826
Baby, baby, baby
276
00:15:23,962 --> 00:15:25,461
[feedback continues]
277
00:15:25,596 --> 00:15:28,529
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
278
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:31,063
Get a haircut, fairy!
279
00:15:31,198 --> 00:15:33,270
[laughter]
280
00:15:36,608 --> 00:15:39,178
[Parker] In that moment,
in a flash of lightning,
281
00:15:39,314 --> 00:15:41,979
I watched that skinny boy
in the pink suit
282
00:15:42,114 --> 00:15:46,010
transform into a superhero.
283
00:15:46,146 --> 00:15:51,481
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
284
00:15:51,616 --> 00:15:55,094
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be
nobody's fool
285
00:15:55,229 --> 00:15:57,927
Now, baby
Come back, baby, come
286
00:15:58,063 --> 00:15:59,792
Come back, baby, come
287
00:15:59,927 --> 00:16:03,993
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
288
00:16:04,129 --> 00:16:06,034
Well, listen and
I'll tell you, baby
289
00:16:06,169 --> 00:16:07,572
What I'm talking about
290
00:16:07,707 --> 00:16:09,840
[panting]
291
00:16:09,976 --> 00:16:12,302
Come on back to me,
little girl
So we can play some house
292
00:16:12,437 --> 00:16:13,439
[shrieks]
293
00:16:13,574 --> 00:16:15,010
Baby, come back, baby, come
294
00:16:15,146 --> 00:16:16,339
Come back, baby, come

[shrieking]
296
00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:19,619
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
297
00:16:19,754 --> 00:16:21,879
Wanna play house!
298
00:16:22,014 --> 00:16:24,314
-What are they hollerin' at?
-The wiggle!
299
00:16:24,449 --> 00:16:25,617
The what?
300
00:16:25,753 --> 00:16:26,822
Them girls
wanna see you wiggle.
301
00:16:26,957 --> 00:16:27,991
Move, man!
302
00:16:28,127 --> 00:16:30,021
-Do more!
-Much more!
303
00:16:30,157 --> 00:16:31,189
Man!
304
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:32,664
Do it again.
305
00:16:32,799 --> 00:16:34,499
[women screaming]
306
00:16:34,634 --> 00:16:38,864
Well, this is one thing, baby
That I want you to know
307
00:16:38,999 --> 00:16:40,732
Come on back
Let's play a little house
308
00:16:40,867 --> 00:16:42,167
And we can do
what we did before
309
00:16:42,303 --> 00:16:43,168
Now, baby
310
00:16:43,303 --> 00:16:44,171
Sit down!
311
00:16:44,307 --> 00:16:45,672
Come back, baby, come
312
00:16:45,807 --> 00:16:48,178
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
313
00:16:48,314 --> 00:16:49,876
What in God's sweet name
am I looking at?
314
00:16:50,012 --> 00:16:51,007
Hit it!
315
00:16:52,216 --> 00:16:54,520
[loud guitar riff playing]
316
00:16:54,655 --> 00:16:56,452
[screaming]
317
00:17:04,632 --> 00:17:05,989
[shrieking]
318
00:17:11,266 --> 00:17:13,865
[loud scream]
319
00:17:21,081 --> 00:17:22,709
What were you thinking,
Jimmie?
320
00:17:25,118 --> 00:17:26,317
I don't know what I'm thinking.
321
00:17:28,421 --> 00:17:31,551
Please, Lord,
don't let 'em hurt my baby.
322
00:17:31,686 --> 00:17:33,753
Hurt him?
Looks like they wanna--
323
00:17:37,059 --> 00:17:41,257
[slow echoing]
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
baby
324
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:44,902
[Parker] Now, I don't
know nothin' about music...
325
00:17:45,037 --> 00:17:46,668
[faint breathy gasps]
326
00:17:46,803 --> 00:17:50,074
...but I could see
in that girl's eyes,
327
00:17:50,209 --> 00:17:51,935
that she was having feelings
328
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:54,908
she wasn't sure
she should enjoy.
329
00:17:55,043 --> 00:17:57,980
[Crudup singing faintly]
Black snake crawlin' in my room
330
00:17:58,115 --> 00:17:59,647
[Parker] Yes.
331
00:18:02,719 --> 00:18:06,390
He was a taste
of forbidden fruit.
332
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:11,296
She could've eaten him alive.
333
00:18:14,933 --> 00:18:16,664
[all shrieking]
334
00:18:25,773 --> 00:18:29,140
Why are you trying
to kill my son?
335
00:18:29,276 --> 00:18:31,210
[Parker] It was the greatest
carnival attraction
336
00:18:31,346 --> 00:18:33,181
I'd ever seen.
337
00:18:33,316 --> 00:18:35,814
He was my destiny.
338
00:18:35,950 --> 00:18:40,622
Right under my nose...
In Memphis.
339
00:18:43,091 --> 00:18:44,694
[Memphis DJ] Top of the morning
to you, friends,
340
00:18:44,829 --> 00:18:46,993
from the home of colorful,
old Beale Street.
341
00:18:47,129 --> 00:18:50,295
The place where the blues began
in Memphis, Tennessee,
342
00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:52,701
Where you see pretty browns
dressed in beautiful gowns,
343
00:18:52,836 --> 00:18:55,441
along with tailor-mades
and hand-me-downs.
344
00:18:55,577 --> 00:18:58,005
Where you see honest men
and pickpockets skilled,
345
00:18:58,141 --> 00:19:00,747
and business never closes
till somebody gets killed.
346
00:19:00,882 --> 00:19:02,647
Now, just kidding.
347
00:19:02,783 --> 00:19:05,076
But there's a lot goin' down
on Beale Street tonight,
348
00:19:05,211 --> 00:19:07,343
and nowhere more-so
than at the Club Handy.
349
00:19:07,479 --> 00:19:09,219
Come around if you wanna see
Big Mama Thornton,
350
00:19:09,354 --> 00:19:11,816
layin' down her newest hit.
351
00:19:11,952 --> 00:19:13,024
[Thornton singing]
Get it, get it
352
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,023
[saxophonist] Get it! Come on!
353
00:19:14,158 --> 00:19:15,991
Oh, let's do it
354
00:19:16,126 --> 00:19:19,430
[Memphis DJ] Now, listen up,
while Brown America speaks.
355
00:19:19,565 --> 00:19:23,960
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
356
00:19:24,096 --> 00:19:25,568
Quit snoopin'
'round my door
357
00:19:27,701 --> 00:19:30,166
[Thornton continues singing]
358
00:19:34,376 --> 00:19:38,880
[Parker] Just why
a truck driver
from Memphis, Tennessee,
359
00:19:39,016 --> 00:19:42,646
liked to hang out
on Beale Street, I do not know.
360
00:19:42,782 --> 00:19:46,455
You told me
you was high class
But I could see through that...
361
00:19:46,591 --> 00:19:48,856
[Parker]
But it did him no favors,
362
00:19:48,991 --> 00:19:52,755
fitting into them
white housing projects.
363
00:19:52,891 --> 00:19:55,668
Hey, squirrel. Nice shoes.
364
00:19:55,803 --> 00:20:02,308
And, Daddy, I know
That you ain't
no real cool cat
365
00:20:03,173 --> 00:20:04,702
Hey, Elvis!
366
00:20:04,838 --> 00:20:08,039
["Vegas" by Doja Cat playing]
367
00:20:11,843 --> 00:20:13,620
[girl] Hey, Tommy.
368
00:20:13,755 --> 00:20:15,585
That's that boy whose record
everybody's talkin' about.
369
00:20:22,397 --> 00:20:24,726
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
370
00:20:43,246 --> 00:20:47,619
[boy] Hey, sideburns.
Where's the Negro suit today?
371
00:20:47,755 --> 00:20:52,188
[Parker] He was crazy
for that Beale Street music.
372
00:20:52,324 --> 00:20:54,988
Beale Street style.
373
00:20:55,123 --> 00:20:58,393
He had Beale Street stars
in his eyes.
374
00:20:58,529 --> 00:21:00,392
What do you think, Tony? Huh?
375
00:21:00,527 --> 00:21:02,161
B.B. King.
376
00:21:02,296 --> 00:21:06,801
No, I didn't take my boy away
from nothin'.
377
00:21:06,937 --> 00:21:10,409
He was runnin'
from the day he was born.
378
00:21:10,544 --> 00:21:14,978
I just opened the door
to our destiny.
379
00:21:15,114 --> 00:21:17,976
[Gladys] So without so much as
a word to your daddy and me,
380
00:21:18,112 --> 00:21:19,650
you quit your job
to go traveling
381
00:21:19,786 --> 00:21:22,020
all the way to Florida
with this Colonel fellow
382
00:21:22,156 --> 00:21:23,879
that we have never met.
383
00:21:24,015 --> 00:21:25,388
Mama, it's only four days.
384
00:21:25,523 --> 00:21:27,988
Yeah, four days.
And then what?
385
00:21:28,123 --> 00:21:31,525
I knew a fella once,
got his record on the radio.
386
00:21:31,660 --> 00:21:33,863
It was all over in a flash.
387
00:21:33,998 --> 00:21:36,995
Mama, I'm just trying
to take care of you and Daddy.
388
00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:39,000
That's all I have
ever cared about.
389
00:21:39,135 --> 00:21:40,703
I ain't ever gonna let us
get back to a place again
390
00:21:40,838 --> 00:21:42,098
where Daddy gets in trouble
with the law
391
00:21:42,233 --> 00:21:43,772
-to put food on the table.
-Elvis!
392
00:21:44,913 --> 00:21:46,137
How dare you?
393
00:21:47,115 --> 00:21:48,346
As the good Lord warns us,
394
00:21:48,482 --> 00:21:50,845
do not wear yourself out
to get rich.
395
00:21:50,980 --> 00:21:54,818
Do not trust your own
goddamn cleverness!
396
00:21:54,954 --> 00:21:57,485
[sighs]
397
00:21:57,621 --> 00:22:00,558
Elvis, you've upset your mama.
398
00:22:11,004 --> 00:22:12,504
[shaky sigh]
399
00:22:14,132 --> 00:22:15,804
You know, Mama,
I was thinkin',
400
00:22:15,940 --> 00:22:17,874
maybe I'll buy you one of them
pink Cadillacs
401
00:22:18,010 --> 00:22:20,072
like you saw back when
you was working
at the hospital.
402
00:22:21,249 --> 00:22:23,108
I don't need no pink Cadillac.
403
00:22:24,681 --> 00:22:27,044
Satnin, I just gotta be making
404
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:28,852
the most of this thing
while I can.
405
00:22:28,988 --> 00:22:31,719
It's like Daddy says, this
could all be over in a flash.
406
00:22:31,855 --> 00:22:34,556
I'm not fearful
of it being over, Booby.
407
00:22:34,691 --> 00:22:37,560
I don't know how to explain it.
408
00:22:37,696 --> 00:22:41,458
But I saw it
in that girl's eyes.
409
00:22:41,594 --> 00:22:45,730
It's something beyond us,
but I know that whatever it is,
410
00:22:45,865 --> 00:22:48,440
it's something that...
411
00:22:48,575 --> 00:22:51,168
It's something
that can come between us.
412
00:22:51,303 --> 00:22:54,577
-[crying softly]
-Oh, no, Mama, no. Hey.
413
00:22:54,713 --> 00:22:56,642
Ain't nothing ever
gonna do that.
414
00:22:56,778 --> 00:22:59,845
You're my girl. My Satnin.
415
00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:02,248
You'll always be
my bestest girl.
416
00:23:02,384 --> 00:23:04,121
Hey.
417
00:23:04,257 --> 00:23:07,120
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
418
00:23:07,255 --> 00:23:10,320
-[trembling sigh]
-I will call you every night.
419
00:23:13,399 --> 00:23:15,292
Will you promise me, Booby?
420
00:23:16,234 --> 00:23:18,227
I promise.
421
00:23:18,363 --> 00:23:20,768
I promise. I promise,
I promise.
422
00:23:20,904 --> 00:23:22,901
-All right. I love you.
-Bye, baby.
423
00:23:23,036 --> 00:23:24,569
[Elvis] Nothing but nothing...
424
00:23:24,704 --> 00:23:25,673
I love you.
425
00:23:25,808 --> 00:23:27,271
...is gonna come between us.
426
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:29,409
-[Scotty] Let's go!
-[Gladys] Bye, Booby!
427
00:23:29,545 --> 00:23:30,945
See you soon!
428
00:23:31,779 --> 00:23:34,753
Wanna bet? [laughs]
429
00:23:34,888 --> 00:23:38,051
Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
430
00:23:38,186 --> 00:23:40,153
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
431
00:23:40,289 --> 00:23:45,021
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
432
00:23:45,157 --> 00:23:46,565
Well, you can do anything
433
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:49,998
But stay off of my
Blue suede shoes
434
00:23:50,133 --> 00:23:52,835
Well, you can knock me down
Step in my face
435
00:23:52,970 --> 00:23:54,634
[over loudspeaker]
Your attention, please.
436
00:23:54,769 --> 00:23:56,267
I have some good news.
437
00:23:56,403 --> 00:23:59,502
Our next four nights
are sold out...
438
00:23:59,637 --> 00:24:01,272
...thanks to the dazzling
performances
439
00:24:01,408 --> 00:24:05,410
of our tremendous showman,
Hank Snow.
440
00:24:05,546 --> 00:24:12,515
Pardon me if I'm sentimental
When we say goodbye
441
00:24:12,650 --> 00:24:14,218
[Parker] And I've noticed
a mild interest
442
00:24:14,353 --> 00:24:16,787
in our newest act,
Elvis Presley.
443
00:24:16,923 --> 00:24:18,454
[playing up-tempo music]
444
00:24:23,566 --> 00:24:24,767
[groupie] Hi.
445
00:24:24,903 --> 00:24:26,468
Yeah, Dixie, I'll be back
before prom.
446
00:24:26,603 --> 00:24:29,304
[rock music continues]
447
00:24:29,439 --> 00:24:31,039
[crowd cheering]
448
00:24:31,174 --> 00:24:33,942
Well you can burn my house
Steal my car
449
00:24:34,077 --> 00:24:36,549
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar
450
00:24:36,684 --> 00:24:38,607
Do anything
that you want to do
451
00:24:38,743 --> 00:24:41,014
[Hank] Colonel,
what is that boy
doing on our tour?
452
00:24:41,149 --> 00:24:42,654
[Parker] Well, I told you
all about him.
453
00:24:42,789 --> 00:24:44,748
And he wants to record
one of your songs.
454
00:24:44,884 --> 00:24:46,255
Oh? Which one?
455
00:24:46,390 --> 00:24:47,390
All of them.
456
00:24:47,526 --> 00:24:49,487
Well, you warn him plenty.
457
00:24:49,623 --> 00:24:53,790
None of those lewd gyrations
or sudden, jerky movements.
458
00:24:53,925 --> 00:24:56,228
[Elvis yelling]
459
00:24:57,236 --> 00:24:58,538
Let's go!
460
00:24:59,634 --> 00:25:00,870
Let's rock!
461
00:25:04,442 --> 00:25:06,403
[women shrieking]
462
00:25:09,112 --> 00:25:10,974
Is that a pair
of young ladies' intimates
463
00:25:11,109 --> 00:25:12,350
I see upon the stage?
464
00:25:12,485 --> 00:25:14,543
Yes, I believe it is, Hank.
465
00:25:14,678 --> 00:25:17,518
Best not happen
when he sings one of my songs.
466
00:25:17,653 --> 00:25:19,186
I'm sure it won't.
467
00:25:19,322 --> 00:25:20,592
[Gladys] Elvis, the papers say
there are girls
468
00:25:20,728 --> 00:25:22,155
around your hotel
all night long.
469
00:25:22,291 --> 00:25:23,890
I don't even go out, Mama.
I stay in.
470
00:25:24,025 --> 00:25:25,998
You know, it gets lonesome.
471
00:25:26,133 --> 00:25:28,459
[radio DJ] I tell you, this
new sensation, Elvis Presley,
472
00:25:28,594 --> 00:25:30,436
he's breaking hearts
all over the South.
473
00:25:30,571 --> 00:25:32,033
Quit knocking at my door,
Scotty.
474
00:25:35,472 --> 00:25:37,272
[woman chuckles]
475
00:25:37,408 --> 00:25:43,583
[Elvis singing]
Are you sorry
We drifted apart?
476
00:25:45,445 --> 00:25:48,544
Never know
How much I love you
477
00:25:49,721 --> 00:25:53,691
Never know how much I care
478
00:25:53,826 --> 00:25:56,919
When you put your arms
around me
479
00:25:57,054 --> 00:25:58,488
[woman sighing]
480
00:26:00,765 --> 00:26:02,460
[Scotty] Oh, come on, E.P.
481
00:26:02,595 --> 00:26:05,061
Life on the road ain't
the concern of folks back home.
482
00:26:05,197 --> 00:26:06,395
[Elvis singing] Fever
483
00:26:06,531 --> 00:26:08,231
[Bill] Why don't you try
one of these?
484
00:26:08,367 --> 00:26:10,533
Put the pep back
into your step.
485
00:26:10,668 --> 00:26:13,206
[Elvis singing]
What a lovely way to burn
486
00:26:15,081 --> 00:26:17,241
[Elvis singing]
Well, shake,
rattle and roll
487
00:26:17,377 --> 00:26:19,580
I said shake,
rattle and roll
488
00:26:19,715 --> 00:26:22,486
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
489
00:26:22,621 --> 00:26:23,747
Well, you won't do right
490
00:26:23,882 --> 00:26:24,818
Whoo!
491
00:26:24,954 --> 00:26:26,318
To save your doggone soul
492
00:26:26,453 --> 00:26:27,625
[Jimmie] You're really
something else, man!
493
00:26:27,761 --> 00:26:29,090
I promise,
I'll put my heart in--
494
00:26:29,226 --> 00:26:30,461
-[Elvis chuckles]
-I wanna be just like you!
495
00:26:30,597 --> 00:26:32,158
[Elvis] Okay. Yeah, thank you.
496
00:26:32,293 --> 00:26:33,925
I can no longer,
in good conscience,
497
00:26:34,061 --> 00:26:35,290
go on stage with that boy.
498
00:26:35,426 --> 00:26:38,397
Yes, a conundrum. A conundrum.
499
00:26:38,532 --> 00:26:41,906
[announcer] Please welcome
to the stage, Hank Snow!
500
00:26:42,041 --> 00:26:45,710
After I perform, I shall
spend the night in prayer.
501
00:26:45,845 --> 00:26:48,505
And I will do
what needs to be done.
502
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:54,247
[downtempo country music
playing]
503
00:26:57,554 --> 00:26:58,955
Come on, Jimmie!
504
00:27:01,322 --> 00:27:04,859
How do you think
that I feel
505
00:27:04,994 --> 00:27:07,490
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
506
00:27:07,625 --> 00:27:10,703
How do you think
that I feel
507
00:27:11,668 --> 00:27:13,629
[music fades]
508
00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:24,541
[Parker] That night,
I happened to see him.
509
00:27:25,284 --> 00:27:26,686
Alone.
510
00:27:27,650 --> 00:27:28,688
Lost.
511
00:27:31,757 --> 00:27:36,152
A snowman is only as good...
512
00:27:36,287 --> 00:27:38,394
as his attraction.
513
00:27:38,530 --> 00:27:40,194
[Bill] Elvis!
514
00:27:40,329 --> 00:27:42,031
-Come on, man.
-Elvis, come on! Hurry up!
515
00:27:46,764 --> 00:27:49,237
[Parker] It was all,
or nothing.
516
00:27:49,372 --> 00:27:50,769
[Bill] Elvis, we're going
to the hall of mirrors!
517
00:27:50,904 --> 00:27:52,438
[Elvis] Wait up!
518
00:27:52,573 --> 00:27:54,412
[Jimmie] Screw the hall
of mirrors. That's boring.
519
00:27:54,548 --> 00:27:57,409
[all chattering, laughing]
520
00:27:58,676 --> 00:28:01,517
[Scotty] Right, hang on.
Here we go.
521
00:28:01,652 --> 00:28:03,580
[speaking Ciazarn]
522
00:28:04,588 --> 00:28:05,417
[Elvis] Hold on.
523
00:28:07,154 --> 00:28:08,893
All right, fellas. Come on.
524
00:28:12,325 --> 00:28:14,690
-Oh.
-[Parker] Lost, my boy?
525
00:28:16,536 --> 00:28:18,232
Colonel Parker, sir.
526
00:28:20,905 --> 00:28:23,707
-You look lost.
-[chuckling]
527
00:28:23,842 --> 00:28:26,108
-I guess I am.
-Ah, yes.
528
00:28:26,244 --> 00:28:29,914
The roar of the crowd.
The life on the road.
529
00:28:30,049 --> 00:28:32,177
And then calling home
to your loved ones,
530
00:28:32,312 --> 00:28:34,319
pretending nothing has changed,
531
00:28:34,455 --> 00:28:36,888
when everything has.
532
00:28:37,786 --> 00:28:40,122
Yeah. Lost.
533
00:28:41,921 --> 00:28:44,455
I'm sorry, sir. I... I meant
I don't know the way out.
534
00:28:44,591 --> 00:28:49,130
Yeah, that is precisely
what I am saying.
535
00:28:49,266 --> 00:28:54,096
I... I saw you.
Apart from all the others.
536
00:28:54,231 --> 00:28:56,468
Burdened.
537
00:28:56,603 --> 00:28:59,273
Like you don't know
how to get out of this.
538
00:29:00,347 --> 00:29:01,737
But I do.
539
00:29:03,410 --> 00:29:05,043
[Zina singing]
Snowman's coming
540
00:29:05,178 --> 00:29:06,417
Allow me to show you.
541
00:29:06,553 --> 00:29:09,421
Yes, he's coming
542
00:29:09,557 --> 00:29:13,989
Take his magic hand
543
00:29:14,124 --> 00:29:15,960
[Parker]
Creatures of the carnival.
544
00:29:16,095 --> 00:29:18,259
-And I am one myself.
-[crowd exclaiming]
545
00:29:18,394 --> 00:29:21,524
It's where I learned the art
of the snow job.
546
00:29:21,660 --> 00:29:23,034
-[Elvis] Snow job?
-[Parker] Yes.
547
00:29:23,169 --> 00:29:24,802
It's like the trick
you do with the wiggling,
548
00:29:24,938 --> 00:29:26,496
getting all the girls
hyped up,
549
00:29:26,631 --> 00:29:28,203
empty their wallets
and leave them
550
00:29:28,338 --> 00:29:30,771
with nothing but the smiles
on their faces.
551
00:29:30,906 --> 00:29:31,970
I'm no trickster.
552
00:29:32,105 --> 00:29:33,906
Oh, yes, you are.
553
00:29:34,042 --> 00:29:36,238
All showmen are snowmen.
554
00:29:36,374 --> 00:29:38,108
It's a wonderful place.
555
00:29:38,244 --> 00:29:39,643
Nobody on the aerio.
556
00:29:40,619 --> 00:29:41,821
[speaking Ciazarn]
557
00:29:43,519 --> 00:29:47,454
Your future, Mr. Presley,
blazing before you.
558
00:29:47,589 --> 00:29:50,830
Recording contracts,
television, even Hollywood.
559
00:29:54,326 --> 00:29:56,001
You're great, Colonel.
560
00:29:56,136 --> 00:29:59,234
You are the best person
I could ever hope to work with.
561
00:29:59,369 --> 00:30:00,867
You know, this is something
I ain't never
562
00:30:01,003 --> 00:30:02,840
said to nobody before...
563
00:30:02,976 --> 00:30:04,804
But I believe
I can be great, too.
564
00:30:04,940 --> 00:30:06,536
Oh, no doubt.
565
00:30:06,672 --> 00:30:09,643
But we could be
even greater together.
566
00:30:09,778 --> 00:30:14,853
But to achieve this, I need
to represent you exclusively.
567
00:30:14,989 --> 00:30:17,285
Exclusively?
Sir, I... I don't follow.
568
00:30:18,823 --> 00:30:20,050
What about Hank Snow?
569
00:30:20,185 --> 00:30:21,989
Hank. Yes...
570
00:30:22,124 --> 00:30:24,061
He sent me here to fire you.
571
00:30:25,894 --> 00:30:27,698
[metal creaking]
572
00:30:27,833 --> 00:30:29,491
Hank wants you off the tour.
573
00:30:29,627 --> 00:30:33,070
So I will have to leave Hank.
574
00:30:34,370 --> 00:30:36,339
We will both have to
make sacrifices.
575
00:30:36,475 --> 00:30:39,703
We will need a record label
with national distribution.
576
00:30:41,546 --> 00:30:43,080
RCA?
577
00:30:44,912 --> 00:30:46,750
RCA.
578
00:30:46,886 --> 00:30:49,482
Sam Phillips... discovered me.
579
00:30:49,618 --> 00:30:52,882
I know, but we have a way
to help Sam understand
580
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:56,054
that it would be foolish of him
to hold you back.
581
00:30:56,190 --> 00:30:58,259
Every man has his price.
582
00:30:58,395 --> 00:31:00,295
[Sam] RCA does have
the distribution.
583
00:31:00,430 --> 00:31:01,424
[Elvis] I just need to know
that you'll
584
00:31:01,559 --> 00:31:02,825
still be with me as friends.
585
00:31:02,961 --> 00:31:04,996
Don't doubt that,
we're not going anywhere.
586
00:31:05,131 --> 00:31:08,664
Marion and I just don't want to
stand in your way, that's all.
587
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,069
The world needs
to hear you sing, Elvis.
588
00:31:12,204 --> 00:31:14,475
[newscaster] Elvis Presley's
contract sold to RCA today
589
00:31:14,610 --> 00:31:16,575
for the highest price
in music history.
590
00:31:16,710 --> 00:31:19,180
Quite the payday
for Sun Records.
591
00:31:19,315 --> 00:31:22,247
It's just business.
Show business.
592
00:31:22,383 --> 00:31:23,679
To achieve truly great things,
593
00:31:23,815 --> 00:31:26,090
one must make
truly great sacrifices.
594
00:31:26,225 --> 00:31:29,786
You will have to be free
of any entanglements.
595
00:31:29,922 --> 00:31:33,596
You see, my boy,
show business is snow business.
596
00:31:33,731 --> 00:31:37,598
And the fans need to believe
that you are always available.
597
00:31:37,733 --> 00:31:39,295
[Elvis] The Colonel says
that with all the publicity
598
00:31:39,431 --> 00:31:40,806
that's gonna be coming,
599
00:31:40,942 --> 00:31:42,966
he might have to
put it out there that...
600
00:31:43,102 --> 00:31:44,432
That...
601
00:31:44,568 --> 00:31:46,609
I don't have a girl.
602
00:31:46,744 --> 00:31:49,973
[sobbing]
603
00:31:50,109 --> 00:31:53,547
[Parker] Then we will need
your parents' legal commitment.
604
00:31:53,682 --> 00:31:57,155
They may need a bit
of convincing themselves.
605
00:31:57,291 --> 00:31:59,157
[Gladys] Sam Phillips
is a good man we can trust.
606
00:31:59,292 --> 00:32:02,489
We don't know this Colonel
from a nail in a wall.
607
00:32:02,625 --> 00:32:04,453
[man] Is there a lawyer
representing the family?
608
00:32:04,589 --> 00:32:05,728
[Parker] Oh, unnecessary.
609
00:32:05,864 --> 00:32:07,462
I am of the firm opinion
610
00:32:07,598 --> 00:32:10,902
that family is the most
important thing in the world.
611
00:32:11,038 --> 00:32:13,628
In mind of that,
I have taken the liberty
612
00:32:13,764 --> 00:32:15,469
of making these contracts out
613
00:32:15,604 --> 00:32:18,675
in the name
of Elvis Presley Enterprises.
614
00:32:18,810 --> 00:32:20,043
A family business.
615
00:32:20,179 --> 00:32:22,844
And I was thinking,
Vernon Presley:
616
00:32:22,979 --> 00:32:24,445
Business Manager.
617
00:32:27,813 --> 00:32:29,720
[Elvis] What do you think,
Daddy?
618
00:32:29,856 --> 00:32:32,123
[Vernon] Uh... Well, uh...
619
00:32:32,258 --> 00:32:33,986
-I like it very much, son.
-[Parker] Ah!
620
00:32:34,121 --> 00:32:35,852
[laughing]
621
00:32:35,987 --> 00:32:39,293
Mrs. Presley,
your son has a unique gift.
622
00:32:39,428 --> 00:32:40,863
It's as though
he has the strength
623
00:32:40,999 --> 00:32:43,325
of two men inside of him.
624
00:32:43,460 --> 00:32:45,061
[pen clicks]
625
00:32:45,197 --> 00:32:46,700
[Elvis] You know, Colonel,
I would do anything
626
00:32:46,835 --> 00:32:48,399
to make sure my mama and daddy
never have to live
627
00:32:48,535 --> 00:32:50,371
in no poverty ever again.
628
00:32:50,507 --> 00:32:53,971
Mama, it's gonna turn out
so, so good.
629
00:32:54,107 --> 00:32:55,311
Mm.
630
00:32:56,979 --> 00:32:58,514
[camera clicks]
631
00:32:58,650 --> 00:33:00,019
Colonel, I wasn't fooling
when I told those other kids
632
00:33:00,154 --> 00:33:01,582
I was gonna buy 'em
a Cadillac one day.
633
00:33:01,717 --> 00:33:04,146
My boy, with me, you will
buy them two Cadillacs.
634
00:33:04,282 --> 00:33:05,552
Two?
635
00:33:06,956 --> 00:33:07,991
A hundred?
636
00:33:08,126 --> 00:33:09,223
-Two hundred.
-[chuckles]
637
00:33:09,358 --> 00:33:11,188
-A thousand.
-A million.
638
00:33:11,324 --> 00:33:12,559
An aeroplane.
639
00:33:12,694 --> 00:33:14,630
-How about a rocket ship?
-[both laugh]
640
00:33:14,766 --> 00:33:19,038
Well, maybe not a rocket ship.
My mama don't like me to fly.
641
00:33:19,173 --> 00:33:23,241
But me, I've always
wanted to fly. Fast.
642
00:33:23,377 --> 00:33:27,009
Faster than the speed of light
to the Rock of Eternity.
643
00:33:27,145 --> 00:33:29,240
What? To the Rock of Eternity?
644
00:33:29,376 --> 00:33:30,874
Captain Marvel, Jr.
645
00:33:32,051 --> 00:33:33,712
He's my favorite
comic book hero.
646
00:33:34,852 --> 00:33:36,581
He flies.
647
00:33:36,717 --> 00:33:38,552
Well, what about you,
Mr. Presley?
648
00:33:39,518 --> 00:33:41,522
Are you ready to fly?
649
00:33:42,455 --> 00:33:44,822
Yes, sir. I'm ready.
650
00:33:45,699 --> 00:33:47,022
Ready to fly.
651
00:33:55,232 --> 00:33:56,836
[producer 1 over intercom]
Uh, Mr. Presley,
652
00:33:56,971 --> 00:33:58,900
try not to move around
so much during the takes.
653
00:33:59,036 --> 00:34:01,278
[Elvis] If I can't move,
I can't sing.
654
00:34:01,413 --> 00:34:04,209
[singing]
Well, since my baby left me
655
00:34:04,345 --> 00:34:05,876
[band plays two chords]
656
00:34:06,011 --> 00:34:09,211
Well, I found a new place
To dwell
657
00:34:09,347 --> 00:34:10,948
[producer 2] What is he doing?
We paid for this?
658
00:34:11,083 --> 00:34:12,849
It's down at the end of
Lonely Street at...
659
00:34:12,984 --> 00:34:14,693
[producer 2]
It's a suicide song.
660
00:34:14,829 --> 00:34:17,388
...Heartbreak Hotel
661
00:34:17,523 --> 00:34:20,260
[Parker] Them know-it-alls
said I'd backed
the wrong horse.
662
00:34:20,396 --> 00:34:22,597
But my boy knew teenagers.
663
00:34:22,733 --> 00:34:26,934
And that first record
changed everything.
664
00:34:27,069 --> 00:34:31,672
Well, it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
665
00:34:31,808 --> 00:34:35,037
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
666
00:34:36,781 --> 00:34:41,250
It's so lonely just sitting
And dreaming of...
667
00:34:41,386 --> 00:34:42,782
[newscaster 1]
In a few short months,
668
00:34:42,917 --> 00:34:44,618
Elvis Presley has popped
out of nowhere.
669
00:34:44,754 --> 00:34:46,885
Everywhere he goes,
he causes riots,
670
00:34:47,020 --> 00:34:49,625
mountains of press
and rivers of money.
671
00:34:49,761 --> 00:34:52,121
[newscaster 2] It's another
gold record for Elvis Presley.
672
00:34:52,256 --> 00:34:54,958
This one giving him his first
worldwide hit.
673
00:34:56,462 --> 00:34:58,368
[crowd screaming]
674
00:34:59,401 --> 00:35:02,473
[maid] Mrs. Presley, look!
675
00:35:02,609 --> 00:35:05,803
Come on, Mrs. Presley,
let me show you
how to use this.
676
00:35:05,939 --> 00:35:08,112
Come on, hens! Come on, hens!
Come on!
677
00:35:08,248 --> 00:35:11,808
Come on! Outside!
Out of my house!
678
00:35:11,943 --> 00:35:14,450
Come on, this way!
Come on, babies!
679
00:35:15,314 --> 00:35:16,619
Dodger!
680
00:35:16,755 --> 00:35:17,849
[grunts]
681
00:35:18,791 --> 00:35:20,982
[Elvis grunting]
682
00:35:21,118 --> 00:35:23,018
-[Elvis] Go, Billy boy!
-Ya-hoo-hoo!
683
00:35:23,153 --> 00:35:24,962
[Parker] I took
my boy's wiggling
684
00:35:25,098 --> 00:35:27,657
and put it in the movies.
685
00:35:27,793 --> 00:35:29,659
I took his name and face,
686
00:35:29,794 --> 00:35:31,500
and put it on all sorts of toys
687
00:35:31,635 --> 00:35:33,671
and knick-knacks,
and called it...
688
00:35:33,807 --> 00:35:35,096
"Merchandise."
689
00:35:35,232 --> 00:35:37,605
Your face on every
conceivable object,
690
00:35:37,740 --> 00:35:41,142
including teddy bear, perfume,
plaster busts...
691
00:35:41,278 --> 00:35:42,473
Of questionable likeness.
692
00:35:42,609 --> 00:35:44,139
"The Elvis Presley Game."
693
00:35:44,274 --> 00:35:47,384
Something so everyone
can show their love.
694
00:35:47,519 --> 00:35:51,883
Grandma Dodger,
what is that behind your ear?
695
00:35:53,025 --> 00:35:55,051
[Gladys] "I hate Elvis."
696
00:35:57,059 --> 00:35:58,389
Huh?
697
00:35:58,524 --> 00:36:00,054
Yes. I hate Elvis.
698
00:36:00,190 --> 00:36:01,733
In my way of thinking,
"I love Elvis,"
699
00:36:01,869 --> 00:36:03,068
that's an easy sell.
700
00:36:03,203 --> 00:36:04,894
Those who hate your son
will do so
701
00:36:05,029 --> 00:36:07,635
whether we profit
from it or not.
702
00:36:07,771 --> 00:36:12,409
After all, what is hate worth
if it's free?
703
00:36:13,771 --> 00:36:15,379
Oh, yeah. I get it.
704
00:36:19,150 --> 00:36:20,652
Snowman strikes again.
705
00:36:20,788 --> 00:36:22,952
[all laughing]
706
00:36:23,087 --> 00:36:25,719
[Parker] Merchandise,
promotion.
Diskin, what else do we have?
707
00:36:25,854 --> 00:36:27,359
-[Diskin] Necklaces.
-[Parker] Necklaces.
708
00:36:27,494 --> 00:36:30,427
-[Diskin] Scarves.
-[Parker] Oh, scarves. Yes...
709
00:36:30,562 --> 00:36:33,095
[Lansky] Mr. Presley
and Mr. King...
710
00:36:33,230 --> 00:36:34,429
regular peas in a pod,
711
00:36:34,565 --> 00:36:36,296
relieving me
of my finest threads.
712
00:36:36,431 --> 00:36:37,529
Must be some occasion.
713
00:36:37,665 --> 00:36:38,895
Mr. Lansky, it's Milton Berle.
714
00:36:39,031 --> 00:36:40,828
The whole of America'll
be watching.
715
00:36:40,964 --> 00:36:42,907
I don't watch television.
716
00:36:43,042 --> 00:36:44,241
So what's it gonna be?
717
00:36:44,377 --> 00:36:46,101
How you gonna
blow their wigs off?
718
00:36:46,237 --> 00:36:49,612
Well, the network
wants me to do a ballad.
719
00:36:49,747 --> 00:36:51,616
But I'm thinking about
cuttin' it up with "Hound Dog."
720
00:36:51,751 --> 00:36:53,110
Whoo!
721
00:36:53,245 --> 00:36:59,113
Elvis Presley, "Hound Dog,"
and Uncle Miltie.
722
00:36:59,249 --> 00:37:01,152
Strange things
are happening every day.
723
00:37:01,287 --> 00:37:04,060
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog, hound dog
724
00:37:04,196 --> 00:37:06,298
Cryin' all the time
725
00:37:06,433 --> 00:37:08,790
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
726
00:37:08,926 --> 00:37:11,369
Cryin' all the time
727
00:37:11,504 --> 00:37:13,129
Well, you ain't never
Caught a rabbit
728
00:37:13,264 --> 00:37:15,801
And you ain't
no friend of mine
729
00:37:15,937 --> 00:37:18,537
When they said
You was high classed
730
00:37:18,673 --> 00:37:20,906
Well, that was just a lie
731
00:37:21,041 --> 00:37:23,708
Yeah, they said
You were high classed
732
00:37:23,844 --> 00:37:26,107
Behold, tomorrow,
all of America
733
00:37:26,243 --> 00:37:28,413
will be talking
about Elvis Presley.
734
00:37:28,549 --> 00:37:29,515
My wiggling boy.
735
00:37:29,650 --> 00:37:31,851
[Gladys and Vernon laughing]
736
00:37:31,986 --> 00:37:34,187
Even as a little one,
he made me laugh so.
737
00:37:34,323 --> 00:37:36,123
He's so funny!
738
00:37:36,258 --> 00:37:38,297
You never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
739
00:37:40,361 --> 00:37:42,228
[laughter]
740
00:37:42,364 --> 00:37:44,831
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog,
a hound dog
741
00:37:46,436 --> 00:37:47,766
Cryin' all the time
742
00:37:47,902 --> 00:37:49,238
[aide] And, Senator,
for the next leg
743
00:37:49,374 --> 00:37:50,804
of your racial integrity tour,
744
00:37:50,940 --> 00:37:53,935
we booked the Overton
Park Shell in Memphis.
745
00:37:54,071 --> 00:37:55,803
What are they laughing about?
746
00:37:55,939 --> 00:37:58,615
[laughter continues]
747
00:37:58,751 --> 00:38:01,980
[Elvis] You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
748
00:38:03,321 --> 00:38:05,781
Cryin' all the time
749
00:38:05,916 --> 00:38:07,993
Who the hell is that?
750
00:38:08,128 --> 00:38:10,291
It's that boy from Memphis.
751
00:38:10,427 --> 00:38:12,590
[dreamily] Elvis Presley.
752
00:38:12,726 --> 00:38:14,829
Cryin' all the time
753
00:38:14,964 --> 00:38:19,329
A white boy from Memphis,
moving like a goddamn--
754
00:38:19,465 --> 00:38:25,344
[Elvis singing]
Is your heart
filled with pain
755
00:38:26,806 --> 00:38:29,374
Shall I come back...
756
00:38:29,509 --> 00:38:34,345
The obscenity and vulgarity
of this rock and roll music
757
00:38:34,481 --> 00:38:38,214
is obviously a means by which
the white man and his children
758
00:38:38,350 --> 00:38:40,484
can be driven to the level
of the Negro.
759
00:38:40,620 --> 00:38:42,520
[Elvis] The colored folks have
been singing and playing it
760
00:38:42,655 --> 00:38:45,021
just like
I'm doing it now, man,
more years than I know.
761
00:38:45,157 --> 00:38:46,528
Colonel Parker,
we called you in here
762
00:38:46,664 --> 00:38:48,324
to talk about this act
of yours.
763
00:38:48,460 --> 00:38:49,962
[TV reporter] A petition
has begun circulating
764
00:38:50,098 --> 00:38:52,535
to bar Elvis Presley
from television.
765
00:38:52,671 --> 00:38:54,232
[Eastland]
We've set up a committee
766
00:38:54,367 --> 00:38:56,905
to keep an eye on this vulgar,
animalistic rock and roll bum.
767
00:38:57,041 --> 00:38:58,736
[TV host] Your style
of gyrating while you sing
768
00:38:58,871 --> 00:39:00,168
has been bitterly criticized...
769
00:39:00,304 --> 00:39:02,010
I don't feel I'm doing
anything wrong.
770
00:39:02,145 --> 00:39:04,075
[woman] We simply will not
advertise on any station
771
00:39:04,211 --> 00:39:05,847
that puts this delinquent
on television.
772
00:39:05,983 --> 00:39:08,678
Colonel, you put an end
to your boy's animal behavior,
773
00:39:08,813 --> 00:39:10,679
or we will.
774
00:39:10,815 --> 00:39:13,356
[Parker] Don't worry, Senator,
my boy does what he's told.
775
00:39:13,491 --> 00:39:16,050
[Elvis singing]
Tell me, dear
776
00:39:16,186 --> 00:39:21,697
Are you lonesome tonight?
777
00:39:25,864 --> 00:39:27,837
"Elvis the Pelvis."
778
00:39:27,973 --> 00:39:30,899
That's one of the most childish
expressions I've ever heard
779
00:39:31,034 --> 00:39:33,038
coming from an adult.
780
00:39:33,173 --> 00:39:35,106
Is Mr. Allen gonna cancel me
from the show?
781
00:39:35,849 --> 00:39:37,079
Yes.
782
00:39:37,214 --> 00:39:39,279
Yes, he is.
783
00:39:39,414 --> 00:39:43,422
He is replacing you with one of
the country's greatest singers.
784
00:39:44,848 --> 00:39:46,253
Mario Lanza?
785
00:39:46,388 --> 00:39:47,619
Someone greater.
786
00:39:47,754 --> 00:39:50,561
The new Elvis Presley!
787
00:39:52,528 --> 00:39:54,697
Yeah, I snowed 'em!
788
00:39:54,833 --> 00:39:57,365
You just have to put on
one of these tails here,
789
00:39:57,501 --> 00:39:58,966
can sing the "Hound Dog,"
790
00:39:59,101 --> 00:40:02,239
and it's a light-hearted,
sophisticated family show.
791
00:40:02,375 --> 00:40:03,602
I can't move in one of these.
792
00:40:03,737 --> 00:40:04,670
And that is the point.
793
00:40:04,806 --> 00:40:06,839
Mr. Allen agreed only as long
794
00:40:06,974 --> 00:40:09,308
as there is no wiggling
of those hips.
795
00:40:09,444 --> 00:40:11,749
I can't figure it out. My own
mother approves of what I do.
796
00:40:11,885 --> 00:40:13,483
Mmm.
797
00:40:13,618 --> 00:40:16,317
You have read the papers,
my boy?
798
00:40:16,453 --> 00:40:18,118
Yeah, I read the papers.
799
00:40:18,254 --> 00:40:20,591
The papers say that I shot
my mother and smoke marijuana.
800
00:40:20,726 --> 00:40:23,660
Your movement's
in the style of a Black man,
801
00:40:23,795 --> 00:40:26,124
and you have broken
the segregation laws.
802
00:40:26,260 --> 00:40:28,258
So let's follow the plan.
It's a good plan.
803
00:40:28,393 --> 00:40:30,425
You do the Allen Show,
family style,
804
00:40:30,561 --> 00:40:33,002
and then tomorrow
we go back to Memphis and
805
00:40:33,137 --> 00:40:36,807
we snow them on the July 4th
Children's Charitable Concert.
806
00:40:36,942 --> 00:40:40,037
And we put this whole
unfortunate misstep behind us.
807
00:40:40,173 --> 00:40:42,545
Now, do you want
to go into politics?
808
00:40:42,681 --> 00:40:45,550
Or shall we stay
in show business?
809
00:40:48,285 --> 00:40:49,753
[Steve Allen] We want to do
a show the whole family
810
00:40:49,888 --> 00:40:51,781
can watch and enjoy,
and we always do.
811
00:40:51,916 --> 00:40:53,157
And at this time, it gives me
extreme pleasure to introduce
812
00:40:53,292 --> 00:40:54,992
the new Elvis Presley!
813
00:40:55,127 --> 00:40:56,754
[dog barks]
814
00:40:56,889 --> 00:40:59,157
[faint crowd laughter]
815
00:40:59,292 --> 00:41:00,663
[female fan 1]
He used to be so hip.
816
00:41:00,798 --> 00:41:02,526
[male fan 1]
He looked so silly.
817
00:41:02,662 --> 00:41:04,529
[male fan 2]
I mean,
he looked like a butler.
818
00:41:04,665 --> 00:41:05,899
[female fan 2] I can't believe
he agreed to sing to a dog.
819
00:41:06,034 --> 00:41:07,198
-[door bangs]
-[Elvis] God damn it!
820
00:41:08,305 --> 00:41:09,506
[grunts angrily]
821
00:41:09,642 --> 00:41:11,005
He could've given us
some warning.
822
00:41:11,141 --> 00:41:12,877
I know how to do a skit,
I could've made it funny!
823
00:41:13,013 --> 00:41:16,505
The most stupid, embarrassing,
humiliating thing I ever did.
824
00:41:16,641 --> 00:41:18,147
Well, what the hell
do you want me to do about it?
825
00:41:18,282 --> 00:41:19,550
We're musicians!
826
00:41:19,686 --> 00:41:21,014
[female fan 3]
It's just embarrassing.
827
00:41:21,149 --> 00:41:22,310
[male fan 3]
Who does he think he is?
828
00:41:22,446 --> 00:41:24,455
[voices overlapping,
echoing faintly]
829
00:41:24,591 --> 00:41:27,119
-[horn toots]
-[fans screaming]
830
00:41:30,019 --> 00:41:33,323
[imperceptible]
831
00:41:40,699 --> 00:41:43,598
[Gladys] She just went on
and on about the damn dog.
832
00:41:43,733 --> 00:41:45,901
And I said, "Neighbors
shouldn't speak like that."
833
00:41:46,037 --> 00:41:47,509
And then she said...
834
00:41:47,644 --> 00:41:49,408
I like the bit with the dog.
835
00:41:49,543 --> 00:41:51,713
It was the most embarrassing
performance of my life, Daddy.
836
00:41:51,849 --> 00:41:53,913
She wasn't the only one
who said it.
837
00:41:54,048 --> 00:41:55,717
-All the neighbors did.
-Oh, God.
838
00:41:55,853 --> 00:41:57,355
Those New York people
were using you
839
00:41:57,490 --> 00:41:59,054
to poke fun at the whole South.
840
00:41:59,190 --> 00:42:02,825
Getting a laugh out of putting
a hillbilly in a tailcoat
841
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,291
-and singing to a dog.
-[faint shouting]
842
00:42:05,427 --> 00:42:08,057
God damn it, Mama, it was
either that or I get canceled.
843
00:42:08,193 --> 00:42:10,099
Then that's it for television.
844
00:42:10,234 --> 00:42:12,868
Colonel says I'm running out
of states that I'm welcome in.
845
00:42:13,003 --> 00:42:15,532
And they don't pay
unless I can perform.
846
00:42:15,668 --> 00:42:18,208
So Colonel says I play the
charity concert tomorrow night,
847
00:42:18,344 --> 00:42:20,702
as the new family style,
848
00:42:20,837 --> 00:42:23,574
then everybody calms down
and we get back on track.
849
00:42:23,709 --> 00:42:26,348
Someone's got to think about
keeping a roof over our heads.
850
00:42:26,484 --> 00:42:28,183
Roof over our head?
851
00:42:28,318 --> 00:42:30,953
We've always managed to keep
a roof over our head, Vernon.
852
00:42:31,089 --> 00:42:32,784
Mama, Daddy is
business manager.
It's his job.
853
00:42:32,919 --> 00:42:34,451
[Vernon] That's right.
854
00:42:34,586 --> 00:42:36,757
We was doing just fine
before that man came along.
855
00:42:36,892 --> 00:42:38,254
Colonel has got us all of this.
856
00:42:38,390 --> 00:42:40,826
I don't want all this!
You're unhappy!
857
00:42:40,962 --> 00:42:42,733
-I am not!
-[grunts loudly]
858
00:42:43,965 --> 00:42:45,829
You're losing yourself, Booby!
859
00:42:45,965 --> 00:42:47,632
Oh, hell, Mama, I--
860
00:42:47,768 --> 00:42:49,137
Satnin knows.
861
00:42:49,273 --> 00:42:50,272
[sighs]
862
00:42:50,407 --> 00:42:51,808
[heavy sigh]
863
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,776
[Gladys] The way you sing
and move...
864
00:42:59,911 --> 00:43:01,543
it's God-given.
865
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,146
So there can't be nothing

1038
00:52:10,497 --> 00:52:13,761
Well, stop talking about it
We're talking
about everything
1039
00:52:13,897 --> 00:52:15,837
And do somethin' about it
1040
00:52:15,973 --> 00:52:17,703
Elvis Presley!
1041
00:52:17,838 --> 00:52:21,212
Strange things happening
Every day
1042
00:52:23,646 --> 00:52:26,144
Just sing the nice song.
Smile the nice smile.
1043
00:52:26,279 --> 00:52:27,647
No wiggling.
1044
00:52:27,782 --> 00:52:29,677
Then we can get back
to our show business.
1045
00:52:29,813 --> 00:52:32,080
And have fun, my boy! Fun!
1046
00:52:35,361 --> 00:52:37,661
[Tharpe singing]
Oh, we want peace!
1047
00:52:37,797 --> 00:52:39,763
We want peace!
1048
00:52:39,899 --> 00:52:42,058
We oughta stop
talkin' about it
And do somethin' about it
1049
00:52:42,193 --> 00:52:46,835
Oh, there are strange
Things happening
1050
00:52:46,971 --> 00:52:52,903
Every day
1051
00:52:54,177 --> 00:52:56,973
[cheering, applause]
1052
00:53:03,020 --> 00:53:04,915
[cameras clicking]
1053
00:53:08,521 --> 00:53:11,362
[cheering subsides]
1054
00:53:11,497 --> 00:53:13,631
There's been a lot of talk
about the new Elvis.
1055
00:53:13,766 --> 00:53:16,025
[crowd jeering]
1056
00:53:21,536 --> 00:53:23,604
And of course, that other guy.
1057
00:53:25,305 --> 00:53:27,677
[crowd cheering]
1058
00:53:27,812 --> 00:53:30,445
[Elvis singing] You ain't
Nothin' but a hound dog
1059
00:53:30,580 --> 00:53:32,074
[chuckling]
Cryin' all the time
1060
00:53:35,017 --> 00:53:37,248
[Eastland] ...at his
command, both civil and other,
1061
00:53:37,383 --> 00:53:41,255
to maintain public order,
and prevent crime and riots.
1062
00:53:41,391 --> 00:53:43,052
He can use those forces...
1063
00:53:43,187 --> 00:53:46,730
to prevent the racial
integration of schools,
1064
00:53:46,865 --> 00:53:50,796
if this is necessary, under the
police powers of that state...
1065
00:53:50,931 --> 00:53:53,403
There's a lot of people
saying a lot of things.
1066
00:53:53,539 --> 00:53:55,132
[Eastland]
...in fact, it is his duty...
1067
00:53:55,268 --> 00:53:57,568
Of course you gotta listen
to the people that you love.
1068
00:53:57,703 --> 00:54:00,608
[Eastland] ...and prevent
turmoil
and strife within the state.
1069
00:54:02,613 --> 00:54:04,407
But in the end,
you gotta listen to yourself.
1070
00:54:04,542 --> 00:54:06,581
[crowd cheering]
1071
00:54:06,717 --> 00:54:08,678
So I want you to know,
those New York people
1072
00:54:08,813 --> 00:54:10,414
ain't gonna change me none.
1073
00:54:10,550 --> 00:54:12,246
[cheering, applause]
1074
00:54:12,382 --> 00:54:14,084
[Eastland]
...the subversives who own...
1075
00:54:14,220 --> 00:54:17,958
...control and dominate
the entertainment industry...
1076
00:54:18,093 --> 00:54:19,592
-"Trouble."
-[Eastland]
... are determined...
1077
00:54:19,728 --> 00:54:22,059
...to spread
Africanized culture...
1078
00:54:22,194 --> 00:54:26,403
I'm gonna show you what
the real Elvis is like tonight!
1079
00:54:26,538 --> 00:54:28,400
[Eastland]
...influencing your children...
1080
00:54:28,535 --> 00:54:29,807
to accept the Negroes.
1081
00:54:29,942 --> 00:54:31,231
[band plays chord]
1082
00:54:31,367 --> 00:54:32,240
If you're looking
for trouble
1083
00:54:32,376 --> 00:54:33,704
-No.
-What's going on?
1084
00:54:33,839 --> 00:54:35,269
You came to the right place
1085
00:54:36,812 --> 00:54:38,547
If you're looking
for trouble
1086
00:54:40,153 --> 00:54:41,352
Just look right in my face
1087
00:54:43,154 --> 00:54:44,784
I was born standing up
1088
00:54:46,421 --> 00:54:48,525
And talking back
1089
00:54:48,660 --> 00:54:54,590
My daddy was a green-eyed
Mountain jack
1090
00:54:54,726 --> 00:54:58,926
Because I'm evil
1091
00:54:59,061 --> 00:55:03,000
My middle name is misery
1092
00:55:07,144 --> 00:55:10,205
Well, I'm evil
1093
00:55:11,846 --> 00:55:15,353
So don't you mess
around with me
1094
00:55:21,857 --> 00:55:22,991
I've never looked
for trouble
1095
00:55:23,126 --> 00:55:24,829
[all screaming]
1096
00:55:24,964 --> 00:55:26,496
But I never ran
1097
00:55:28,199 --> 00:55:29,664
I don't take no orders
1098
00:55:31,104 --> 00:55:32,403
From no kind of man
1099
00:55:34,601 --> 00:55:35,769
I'm only made out
1100
00:55:37,671 --> 00:55:38,936
Of flesh, blood and bone
1101
00:55:39,072 --> 00:55:42,607
But if you're gonna
Start a rumble
1102
00:55:42,743 --> 00:55:45,872
Don't you try it on alone
1103
00:55:46,008 --> 00:55:49,244
Because I'm evil
1104
00:55:50,321 --> 00:55:53,549
My middle name is misery
1105
00:55:53,684 --> 00:55:55,184
[shrieking]
1106
00:55:57,324 --> 00:55:58,356
Elvis!
1107
00:55:58,492 --> 00:56:02,928
Well, I'm evil
1108
00:56:03,063 --> 00:56:05,668
So don't you
mess around with me
1109
00:56:05,803 --> 00:56:08,362
-[band accelerates tempo]
-[excited chattering]
1110
00:56:09,606 --> 00:56:12,201
I'm evil, evil
evil as can be
1111
00:56:13,545 --> 00:56:16,144
I'm evil
evil, evil as can be
1112
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:17,245
[officers shouting]
1113
00:56:17,381 --> 00:56:18,610
So don't mess around
1114
00:56:18,746 --> 00:56:20,649
Don't mess around with me
1115
00:56:21,547 --> 00:56:23,118
I'm evil
1116
00:56:23,253 --> 00:56:24,052
[cameras whirring]
1117
00:56:24,187 --> 00:56:25,346
I'm evil
1118
00:56:26,490 --> 00:56:30,056
[faint singing] Evil, evil
1119
00:56:30,192 --> 00:56:33,897
Uh, now would be a good time
to get back into the car.
1120
00:56:34,032 --> 00:56:36,129
I'm evil
1121
00:56:36,265 --> 00:56:37,501
Evil
1122
00:56:38,135 --> 00:56:39,965
Evil
1123
00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:42,830
-[sound fades]
-[cameras clicking, whirring]
1124
00:56:42,965 --> 00:56:46,103
Our friends at RCA
are not gonna
be happy when they see this.
1125
00:56:47,213 --> 00:56:48,941
[up-tempo music continues]
1126
00:56:58,751 --> 00:57:01,314
[sounds fade, muffled]
1127
00:57:01,450 --> 00:57:03,494
[Parker] He didn't listen
to me.
1128
00:57:04,891 --> 00:57:06,296
-Why?
-[faint singing]
1129
00:57:06,431 --> 00:57:09,594
Why didn't he listen to me?
1130
00:57:09,730 --> 00:57:12,129
[faint singing] I'm evil
1131
00:57:13,965 --> 00:57:15,671
Get my boy off that stage!
1132
00:57:16,999 --> 00:57:18,040
...with me
1133
00:57:18,175 --> 00:57:19,004
[yelling]
1134
00:57:21,811 --> 00:57:24,806
[Scotty] Get your hands
off him. Hey!
1135
00:57:24,941 --> 00:57:26,946
[Bill] Hey, Elvis!
1136
00:57:41,266 --> 00:57:43,295
[women shrieking] Elvis!
1137
00:57:43,430 --> 00:57:45,959
Go look after the merchandise.
Look after the merchandise!
1138
00:57:46,095 --> 00:57:48,402
[all shouting, yelling]
1139
00:57:48,537 --> 00:57:49,803
[man] Elvis, come on!
1140
00:57:49,938 --> 00:57:51,403
Get off of me!
Mama, you get in the car!
1141
00:57:51,538 --> 00:57:53,207
Get in the car!
1142
00:57:53,342 --> 00:57:54,978
[screaming]
1143
00:57:55,113 --> 00:57:56,811
[panting]
1144
00:58:02,586 --> 00:58:04,313
You're gonna get us in trouble.
1145
00:58:05,488 --> 00:58:07,050
He's all right, come on.
1146
00:58:07,186 --> 00:58:09,190
-[Scotty] Elvis!
-[Bill] Scotty, come on.
1147
00:58:09,325 --> 00:58:10,352
Let's go.
1148
00:58:11,855 --> 00:58:13,597
[panting]
1149
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,766
[fans thumping on car]
1150
00:58:22,174 --> 00:58:23,497
[siren wails]
1151
00:58:23,632 --> 00:58:27,069
[Parker] My dear boy
had chosen.
1152
00:58:27,204 --> 00:58:32,013
You, his audience, his fans.
1153
00:58:32,149 --> 00:58:36,585
He had no idea
what he had done
to both of us.
1154
00:58:36,721 --> 00:58:38,249
[Eastland]
We warned you, Colonel.
1155
00:58:38,385 --> 00:58:40,014
You've lost control
of this act of yours.
1156
00:58:40,150 --> 00:58:41,926
And he's dividing this nation.
1157
00:58:42,061 --> 00:58:46,355
There are a lot of people
who want to see him in jail.
1158
00:58:46,490 --> 00:58:48,599
[Parker] I had to find
a way out.
1159
00:58:49,730 --> 00:58:51,602
A way to save him.
1160
00:58:55,264 --> 00:58:59,709
[Elvis singing] Crawfish
1161
00:59:01,410 --> 00:59:04,714
Crawfish
1162
00:59:07,547 --> 00:59:12,212
No. There's no way my baby's
going to Germany for two years.
1163
00:59:12,348 --> 00:59:16,154
It is either the army or jail.
1164
00:59:17,296 --> 00:59:19,223
There is something else.
1165
00:59:19,358 --> 00:59:23,062
Vernon, they are poking
into your background.
1166
00:59:23,197 --> 00:59:24,796
We don't have nothin'
to be ashamed of!
1167
00:59:24,931 --> 00:59:26,561
Now, my daddy is a good man.
1168
00:59:26,696 --> 00:59:29,804
[Parker] Yes, yes.
But your papa did go to jail.
1169
00:59:29,940 --> 00:59:32,909
You know them,
and their flashy headlines.
1170
00:59:33,044 --> 00:59:36,972
"Elvis, The Draft Dodger."
"A Family of Delinquents."
1171
00:59:37,107 --> 00:59:40,206
There was no moon
1172
00:59:40,342 --> 00:59:44,044
[Parker] We may never
book another date,
or sell another record again.
1173
00:59:44,180 --> 00:59:45,779
And my way of thinking,
1174
00:59:45,915 --> 00:59:48,258
the army could be
a brand new start
for all of us.
1175
00:59:48,394 --> 00:59:50,159
Let them cut your hair.
1176
00:59:50,294 --> 00:59:53,426
Prove to the world that you are
a clean-cut, all-American boy.
1177
00:59:53,561 --> 00:59:56,491
You do your two years, and when
you come back, I promise you
1178
00:59:56,626 --> 00:59:58,131
I will have done
everything I can
1179
00:59:58,266 --> 01:00:00,966
to make you the biggest
actor in Hollywood.
1180
01:00:01,101 --> 01:00:02,739
You will choose
your own pictures.
1181
01:00:04,776 --> 01:00:06,238
-It's gonna be okay, Mama.
-[sobbing]
1182
01:00:06,373 --> 01:00:10,742
And I pulled Mr. Crawfish
out of his hole
1183
01:00:10,877 --> 01:00:12,608
[TV reporter]
Young Mr. Presley,
a rock and roller no more.
1184
01:00:12,744 --> 01:00:15,979
He'll do six months'
basic training at Fort Chaffee
1185
01:00:16,114 --> 01:00:18,048
before shipping off to Germany.
1186
01:00:18,183 --> 01:00:19,822
[Elvis continues singing
faintly]
1187
01:00:19,957 --> 01:00:21,548
[Parker] Since the day
he was born,
1188
01:00:21,683 --> 01:00:24,288
she had feared
losing her second son.
1189
01:00:27,866 --> 01:00:30,030
While he was
in basic training...
1190
01:00:31,096 --> 01:00:33,429
she worried and drank...
1191
01:00:34,933 --> 01:00:36,366
Worried...
1192
01:00:37,342 --> 01:00:39,004
and drank.
1193
01:00:39,140 --> 01:00:41,140
-[loud thump]
-[glass clattering]
1194
01:00:47,110 --> 01:00:48,413
[faint] Hey...
1195
01:00:48,549 --> 01:00:49,753
Alberta!
1196
01:00:54,359 --> 01:00:56,320
[sobbing quietly]
1197
01:01:00,957 --> 01:01:03,129
[crying]
1198
01:01:13,511 --> 01:01:15,803
[Elvis crying] Oh, no...
1199
01:01:15,939 --> 01:01:17,407
No!
1200
01:01:21,252 --> 01:01:25,879
There are some fine folks
from the press waiting outside.
1201
01:01:26,015 --> 01:01:30,857
A few questions, pictures,
and they will leave us alone.
1202
01:01:30,992 --> 01:01:33,863
I can't get him to do anything.
1203
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,098
He trusted her
like nobody else,
1204
01:01:38,234 --> 01:01:41,838
and now she's gone
and who does he have now?
1205
01:01:43,869 --> 01:01:44,742
[Vernon] Well...
1206
01:01:46,338 --> 01:01:48,102
He trusts you.
[shaky exhale]
1207
01:01:48,238 --> 01:01:50,242
Can you talk to him?
1208
01:01:51,381 --> 01:01:53,212
Oh, no.
1209
01:01:54,376 --> 01:01:56,242
It's not my place...
1210
01:01:56,378 --> 01:01:58,080
Can you do it, Colonel?
1211
01:01:58,215 --> 01:02:00,054
We need your help now.
1212
01:02:03,627 --> 01:02:05,620
[Elvis sobbing quietly]
1213

Your daddy is doing
the best he knows how,
1214
01:02:13,230 --> 01:02:16,264
but he is overwhelmed.
1215
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,571
He needs your help out there.
1216
01:02:18,706 --> 01:02:22,402
[crying] I can't go out there.
I just wanna stay here forever.
1217
01:02:22,538 --> 01:02:24,648
-Oh, my boy.
-[sobbing]
1218
01:02:24,783 --> 01:02:27,846
No one could never
replace her.
1219
01:02:27,981 --> 01:02:30,085
But you listen to me.
1220
01:02:30,220 --> 01:02:33,285
From this moment on,
anything she would have done...
1221
01:02:34,319 --> 01:02:37,256
I will carry out, in her name.
1222
01:02:37,392 --> 01:02:42,622
When you are overseas,
I will stay here at home.
1223
01:02:42,758 --> 01:02:46,100
And I will work,
and I will worry.
1224
01:02:48,131 --> 01:02:49,763
Trust me.
1225
01:02:52,076 --> 01:02:56,169
Now, you go and you stand
by your papa.
1226
01:02:56,304 --> 01:02:57,540
You comfort him.
1227
01:02:58,449 --> 01:03:00,343
You comfort him.
1228
01:03:00,479 --> 01:03:02,550
Comfort your friends
and your family,
1229
01:03:02,686 --> 01:03:04,720
and even your fans. Hmm?
1230
01:03:04,855 --> 01:03:08,188
Because if you don't do that...
1231
01:03:08,323 --> 01:03:11,152
all that your mama
has sacrificed for you
1232
01:03:11,288 --> 01:03:13,028
will be for nothing.

01:03:14,794 --> 01:03:15,965
[crying]
1234
01:03:17,131 --> 01:03:18,496
[Elvis] No matter what happens,
1235
01:03:18,631 --> 01:03:21,166
you stay with me
through thick and thin, okay?
1236
01:03:21,302 --> 01:03:24,470
You're like a...

Even from himself.
1242
01:04:12,948 --> 01:04:16,922
My plan, Elvis Presley
would return
1243

1244
01:04:22,829 --> 01:04:23,901

[thunder rumbling]

of all.

of a United States
Air Force officer.
1253
01:04:53,193 --> 01:04:55,123
And then he said to me...
1254
01:04:55,258 --> 01:04:56,725
[sucks, exhales]
1255
01:04:56,860 --> 01:04:58,295
[gruff voice]
"You know what, Priscilla?

01:04:58,431 --> 01:05:00,126
You gotta listen to me,

because this guy, he's got
girls all over the world, okay?

He's got girls waiting
outside of his house

and girls writing him

01:05:06,468 --> 01:05:08,672

And then Mommy decides
to pitch in and go,

01:05:08,807 --> 01:05:10,980
"Ooh, what could he possibly
see in you, okay?

we talk and we listen
to music, okay? That's all."
1266
01:05:22,526 --> 01:05:24,820
And then they were going on
and on about that photo of you
1267

and Natalie Wood riding around
on that bike in Memphis,

I said, "Listen, okay?

He's just really lonely.
And quite frankly, so am I."
1271
01:05:39,774 --> 01:05:42,275
And then
they didn't really know
what to say after that,
1272
01:05:42,410 --> 01:05:45,747
so I went upstairs
and I went to bed.
1273
01:05:45,883 --> 01:05:48,309
Never met anyone like you.
1274
01:05:48,444 --> 01:05:49,613
Well, I hope not.

So... what
is Natalie Wood like?

She's nice, you know.
1277
01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:59,522
She's been writing me
about acting.

stories about...

Mmm.

that when I get back
1283
01:06:14,909 --> 01:06:17,278
he's gonna set me up
in Hollywood
to be a serious actor.
1284

That's really what I dream of.

Hey, E.P., E.P.,
now, you promised the captain

by 7:00.

What? No...

He don't boss me around.

want to sing in your films,

a dramatic actor.

[Elvis] Well, sir, that's
my big ambition now.

a lot of experience.

as good as Brando.

in movies where he didn't sing.

A little less conversation

And introducing

We had a lot of fun!
1323

But Elvis was a young man,
1324
01:08:54,503 --> 01:08:56,865
and of course,
he got distracted.
1325
01:08:57,001 --> 01:09:02,003

and cheaper.

01:11:20,910 --> 01:11:22,342
for every nickel they had
1381
01:11:22,477 --> 01:11:24,749
and now it is time
for us to pack up our tents
1382
01:11:24,885 --> 01:11:26,781
and move on
to even greener pastures.
1383
01:11:26,917 --> 01:11:28,455
We've seen "Elvis the Rebel,"
1384
01:11:28,590 --> 01:11:30,327
we've seen
"Elvis the Movie Star."
1385
01:11:30,462 --> 01:11:33,962
Now we will see
"Elvis the Family Entertainer."
1386
01:11:34,098 --> 01:11:35,530
And appliance salesman?
1387
01:11:37,826 --> 01:11:39,764
What did you say?
1388
01:11:39,900 --> 01:11:42,298
Listen, Jerry,
I don't need you to question me
1389
01:11:42,434 --> 01:11:45,501
about how I support my family
and every goddamn person here.
1390
01:11:45,636 --> 01:11:47,169
You understand me?
1391
01:11:47,305 --> 01:11:49,038
If you don't like it,
you can go back to Memphis.
1392
01:11:51,346 --> 01:11:52,910
Laugh it up, assholes.
1393
01:12:05,026 --> 01:12:07,221
[male voice singing "Here Comes
Santa Claus" on tape]
1394
01:12:09,193 --> 01:12:10,665
[man] What
a beautiful rendition
1395
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,032
of "Here Comes Santa Claus"
that was,
1396
01:12:13,167 --> 01:12:16,473
with all the sparkle and magic
that the season brings.
1397
01:12:16,608 --> 01:12:18,508
And you'll be even warmer
this season
1398
01:12:18,643 --> 01:12:21,075
in a 12 gauge
cable-knit woolen sweater...
1399
01:12:21,210 --> 01:12:23,409
-Satnin?
-Hi.
1400
01:12:23,545 --> 01:12:25,575
...made right at home
on the Singer Sewer
SK155 home knitter.
1401
01:12:25,710 --> 01:12:28,213
And now, here's Elvis!
1402
01:12:28,348 --> 01:12:29,383
[stops tape]
1403
01:12:29,518 --> 01:12:32,145
[Mahalia Jackson
singing on TV]
1404
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,219
Can I watch the memorial
with you?
1405
01:12:34,354 --> 01:12:35,689
Yeah, baby.
1406
01:12:43,126 --> 01:12:46,201
I'm so tired of playing
Elvis Presley.
1407
01:12:46,336 --> 01:12:48,696
Too many people rely on me.
1408
01:12:48,831 --> 01:12:50,704
[Priscilla sighs]
1409
01:12:52,075 --> 01:12:53,703
I love you.
1410
01:12:53,838 --> 01:12:55,610
And your daughter loves you.
1411
01:12:58,276 --> 01:13:00,380
We don't care about the money
or anything else.
1412
01:13:00,516 --> 01:13:02,209
We just want you to be happy.
1413
01:13:02,344 --> 01:13:04,053
[Jackson singing]
Lord, hold my hand
1414
01:13:04,189 --> 01:13:05,887
And don't let me fall
1415
01:13:06,022 --> 01:13:09,453
You're only really happy when
you sing the music you love.
1416
01:13:09,588 --> 01:13:13,490
[Jackson] Oh
1417
01:13:13,625 --> 01:13:16,889
Take my hand
1418
01:13:17,025 --> 01:13:19,798
[Elvis] Mahalia Jackson.
1419
01:13:19,934 --> 01:13:22,605
I used to hear her sing
at East Street Church.
1420
01:13:22,740 --> 01:13:25,968
[Jackson singing]
Got a feelin' in my body
1421
01:13:26,104 --> 01:13:28,100
That's the music
that makes me happy.
1422
01:13:28,236 --> 01:13:33,714
This will be our lucky day
1423
01:13:33,850 --> 01:13:38,311
So when things are too
dangerous to say... sing!
1424
01:13:38,447 --> 01:13:40,281
["I Got A Feeling In My Body"
playing]
1425
01:13:43,795 --> 01:13:48,832
When Moses walked the children
out of Egypt land
1426
01:13:48,967 --> 01:13:53,334
He said "Now don't you worry
we're in the lord's hands"
1427
01:13:53,470 --> 01:13:57,305
I got a feelin' in my body
1428
01:13:57,441 --> 01:14:00,510
This will be our lucky day
1429
01:14:04,012 --> 01:14:07,976
We'll be released
from all our sorrow
1430
01:14:08,111 --> 01:14:11,213
Leave it layin' along the way
1431
01:14:19,492 --> 01:14:22,357
[Jerry] You gotta meet these
Binder and Bones guys, E.P.
1432
01:14:22,492 --> 01:14:23,662
They're the ones
that put James Brown,
1433
01:14:23,797 --> 01:14:26,295
the Rolling Stones onstage.
1434
01:14:26,430 --> 01:14:28,097
They're doing some
cutting edge stuff.
1435
01:14:28,233 --> 01:14:32,366
Mr. Binder, Mr. Howe...
thanks for coming.
1436
01:14:33,908 --> 01:14:35,875
[helicopter whirring
in distance]
1437
01:14:48,685 --> 01:14:50,884
[Elvis] When I first came
to Hollywood, I'd come up here
1438
01:14:51,019 --> 01:14:53,253
and sit for hours.
1439
01:14:53,389 --> 01:14:55,059
Right over there,
the observatory...
1440
01:14:55,195 --> 01:14:57,900
that's where they shot
Rebel Without a Cause.
1441
01:14:58,036 --> 01:15:02,997
Man, I used to dream of being
a great actor like Jimmy Dean.
1442
01:15:03,133 --> 01:15:05,201
This sign was beautiful then.
1443
01:15:07,474 --> 01:15:09,339
And now...
1444
01:15:09,475 --> 01:15:12,345
Feels as though lots of things
are like that these days.
1445
01:15:12,481 --> 01:15:15,409
Broke down, beat up.
1446
01:15:16,251 --> 01:15:17,246
Rotten.
1447
01:15:19,415 --> 01:15:21,349
I really like
what you guys did,
1448
01:15:21,484 --> 01:15:23,921
putting James Brown
and the Stones together.
1449
01:15:24,057 --> 01:15:27,488
We're, uh...
big fans of yours, too.
1450
01:15:27,623 --> 01:15:30,032
It's just that, Mr. Presley,
we don't usually--
1451
01:15:30,167 --> 01:15:31,429
Oh, Elvis.
1452
01:15:31,564 --> 01:15:32,998
Elvis, uh...
1453
01:15:34,629 --> 01:15:37,268
Christmas specials
aren't really our thing.
1454
01:15:37,404 --> 01:15:38,608
I know.
1455
01:15:40,509 --> 01:15:42,778
Tell me, honestly...
1456
01:15:42,913 --> 01:15:45,274
where do you boys
think my career's at right now?
1457
01:15:47,218 --> 01:15:48,910
Well, it's...
1458
01:15:49,046 --> 01:15:51,753
It's in the toilet, Elvis.
1459
01:15:53,784 --> 01:15:56,285
[both laughing]
1460
01:15:57,394 --> 01:15:59,928
You hear that, Jerry?
1461
01:16:00,064 --> 01:16:03,259
Oh, Lord. I knew you were
the right guys for this job.
1462
01:16:03,394 --> 01:16:05,733
You know,
back when I was starting out,
1463
01:16:05,868 --> 01:16:08,264
some people wanted
to put me in jail,
1464
01:16:08,399 --> 01:16:11,564
even kill me,
'cause of the way I was moving.
1465
01:16:13,773 --> 01:16:15,337
So they cut my hair,
1466
01:16:15,473 --> 01:16:18,340
they put me in uniform
and they sent me away.
1467
01:16:21,319 --> 01:16:22,982
That killed my mother.
1468
01:16:26,181 --> 01:16:27,954
And ever since then...
1469
01:16:29,754 --> 01:16:30,990
I've been lost.
1470
01:16:33,425 --> 01:16:36,160
And when you're lost,
people take advantage.
1471
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,595
I need you fellas to help me
get back to who I really am.
1472
01:16:43,869 --> 01:16:45,103
And who are you, Elvis?
1473
01:16:47,804 --> 01:16:49,840
I sure as hell ain't somebody
who sings Christmas songs
1474
01:16:49,975 --> 01:16:52,780
by a fireplace for an hour.
1475
01:16:52,915 --> 01:16:55,377
[Steve] And what
does the Colonel think?
1476
01:16:55,512 --> 01:16:57,786
I don't give a damn
what the Colonel thinks.
1477
01:16:58,586 --> 01:16:59,887
[rock clattering]
1478
01:17:13,001 --> 01:17:14,662
[Parker]
For this television special,
1479
01:17:14,798 --> 01:17:17,468
we've got this Bindle fella,
number one hotshot director.
1480
01:17:17,603 --> 01:17:20,373
Elvis will be humoring him by
doing a few of his fresh ideas.
1481
01:17:20,508 --> 01:17:22,072
Ah, the sweater!
1482
01:17:22,208 --> 01:17:24,804
To Mr. Presley's
dressing room, please.
1483
01:17:24,940 --> 01:17:28,309
We are going to sing three
spectacular Christmas songs
1484
01:17:28,445 --> 01:17:30,511
-in that very sweater.
-[applause]
1485
01:17:32,450 --> 01:17:35,481
Now, when that sign lights up,
what do you do?
1486
01:17:35,616 --> 01:17:37,056
-Applause.
-[crowd applauding]
1487
01:17:40,965 --> 01:17:43,324
"Silent is the Night"
and "Deck the Halls,"
1488
01:17:43,460 --> 01:17:46,802
and, uh...
"Whose Child Is This?"
1489
01:17:46,938 --> 01:17:48,836
[Elvis] You think
we can do some gospel?
1490
01:17:48,971 --> 01:17:50,505
Well, if you want
to find yourself,
1491
01:17:50,641 --> 01:17:52,238
first thing you do is go home.
1492
01:17:52,374 --> 01:17:55,773
Metaphorically, you know.
Get back to who you really are.
1493
01:17:55,909 --> 01:17:57,873
And what is the boy that--
1494
01:17:58,008 --> 01:17:59,546
-Oh, "The Little Drummer Boy"?
-Yes, "The Little
Drumming Boy."
1495
01:17:59,681 --> 01:18:01,246
Oh, the... with the...
1496
01:18:01,381 --> 01:18:03,282
[Bones] We get your old band
back together.
1497
01:18:03,418 --> 01:18:07,181
But we are going to start with
"Here Comes Santa Claus,"
1498
01:18:07,317 --> 01:18:09,089
isn't that right, Mr. Bindle?
1499
01:18:09,224 --> 01:18:10,623
Uh, the Christmas specials
come later in the show.
1500
01:18:10,758 --> 01:18:12,125
Can you bring up two?
1501
01:18:12,260 --> 01:18:14,196
[Steve] A leather jacket.
Raw, dirty.
1502
01:18:14,331 --> 01:18:17,358
Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
this is television, not radio,
1503
01:18:17,494 --> 01:18:18,964
so when that goes up
and you clap,
1504
01:18:19,100 --> 01:18:20,225
let's see it
on your faces as well.
1505
01:18:20,361 --> 01:18:21,694
[enthusiastic applause]
1506
01:18:21,829 --> 01:18:23,031
[Steve] But you need
an audience.
1507
01:18:23,166 --> 01:18:24,731
[Elvis] Audience?
1508
01:18:24,866 --> 01:18:26,669
-Bring it over to one.
-[Bones] At any second now,
1509
01:18:26,804 --> 01:18:28,672
Elvis is gonna walk onto this
stage and perform just for you.
1510
01:18:28,807 --> 01:18:30,874
[Elvis] I ain't sang in front
of an audience in a long time.
1511
01:18:31,010 --> 01:18:32,408
[Steve] That's my point.
1512
01:18:32,544 --> 01:18:35,548
Ladies and gentlemen,
here's Elvis Presley!
1513
01:18:35,684 --> 01:18:37,248
[applause, cheering]
1514
01:19:13,581 --> 01:19:16,254
Well, since my baby left me
1515
01:19:16,389 --> 01:19:18,917
Well, I found a new place
To dwell
1516
01:19:19,053 --> 01:19:20,957
Well, it's down at the end
Of Lonely Street
1517
01:19:21,093 --> 01:19:23,426
At Heartbreak Hotel
1518
01:19:23,561 --> 01:19:27,029
Where I'll be
I'll be so lonely, baby
1519
01:19:27,164 --> 01:19:29,464
I'll be so lonely
1520
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:33,437
I'll be so lonely
I could die
1521
01:19:33,572 --> 01:19:36,637
Well, the bellhop's tears
Keep flowin'
1522
01:19:36,773 --> 01:19:39,311
And the desk clerk's
Dressed in black
1523
01:19:39,447 --> 01:19:41,808
Well, they've been so long
On Lonely Street
1524
01:19:41,943 --> 01:19:45,587
Well, they'll never
They'll never look back
1525
01:19:45,723 --> 01:19:47,753
They'll be so lonely, baby
1526
01:19:47,889 --> 01:19:50,353
They'll be so lonely
1527
01:19:50,489 --> 01:19:52,758
They'll be so lonely
They could die
1528
01:19:52,893 --> 01:19:54,963
[band picks up tempo]
1529
01:19:56,161 --> 01:19:59,528
Well, that was... energetic.
1530
01:20:01,698 --> 01:20:04,330
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
1531
01:20:04,466 --> 01:20:06,402
Snoopin' at my door
1532
01:20:06,538 --> 01:20:09,038
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
1533
01:20:09,174 --> 01:20:11,705
Cryin' all the time
1534
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:13,473
Well, you ain't never
Caught a rabbit
1535
01:20:13,608 --> 01:20:16,215
You ain't no friend of mine
1536
01:20:16,947 --> 01:20:17,920
Come on!
1537
01:20:19,357 --> 01:20:21,350
Colonel...
1538
01:20:21,486 --> 01:20:23,556
Is "Here Comes
Santa Claus" next?
1539
01:20:23,691 --> 01:20:25,251
Absolutely.
1540
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,888
I see no reason why not.
1541
01:20:28,024 --> 01:20:31,628
He's not in the swe-- he's not
even wearing the sweater.
1542
01:20:31,763 --> 01:20:34,728
Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
1543
01:20:34,863 --> 01:20:36,830
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
1544
01:20:36,966 --> 01:20:41,337
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
1545
01:20:41,473 --> 01:20:43,544
I do not know
what is going on.
1546
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:44,979
Singing "Hound Dog"?
1547
01:20:45,115 --> 01:20:46,916
What does that have to do
with Christmas?
1548
01:20:47,051 --> 01:20:49,512
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes

01:28:54,303 --> 01:28:56,400
even its common decency.
1721
01:28:56,536 --> 01:28:58,167
200 million Americans
1722
01:28:58,303 --> 01:29:01,504
did not strike down
Robert Kennedy last night,
1723
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:03,005
any more than they struck down
1724
01:29:03,140 --> 01:29:07,143
President John F. Kennedy
in 1963,
1725
01:29:07,278 --> 01:29:10,513
or Dr. Martin Luther King
in April of this year.
1726
01:29:10,649 --> 01:29:13,048
My fellow citizens, we cannot,
1727
01:29:13,183 --> 01:29:15,651
we just must not tolerate
the sway
1728
01:29:15,786 --> 01:29:17,890
of violent men among us.
1729
01:29:18,026 --> 01:29:21,859
We must not permit men
that are filled with hate--
1730
01:29:22,858 --> 01:29:25,429
[flicking switches]
1731
01:29:25,564 --> 01:29:28,228
[piano notes playing]
1732
01:29:30,903 --> 01:29:35,202
[Elvis singing]
Here comes Santa Claus
1733
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:42,979
Here comes Santa Claus
1734
01:29:44,354 --> 01:29:48,655
Right down Santa Claus...
1735
01:29:56,194 --> 01:29:59,467
We're pretty set for the number
tomorrow, right, E.P.?
1736
01:29:59,603 --> 01:30:02,537
It's pretty familiar territory,
right?
1737
01:30:04,934 --> 01:30:07,102
A reverend once told me...
1738
01:30:09,239 --> 01:30:12,107
"When things are too dangerous
to say...
1739
01:30:14,775 --> 01:30:16,452
sing."
1740
01:30:33,636 --> 01:30:36,098
[piano playing
"If I Can Dream" melody]
1741
01:30:39,638 --> 01:30:45,338
[singing]
There must be lights
Burning brighter somewhere
1742
01:30:46,847 --> 01:30:51,152
Got to be birds
flying higher
1743
01:30:51,287 --> 01:30:54,749
In a sky more blue
1744
01:30:54,884 --> 01:30:56,857
[orchestra joining in]
1745
01:30:56,993 --> 01:30:59,327
[stage manager] Standing by.
We're seconds away, folks.
1746
01:30:59,462 --> 01:31:00,959
We're just waiting on upstairs.
1747
01:31:01,094 --> 01:31:03,488
We're gonna get a rehearsal
going very shortly.
1748
01:31:03,624 --> 01:31:06,266
Let's go, let's go, people!
First positions!
1749
01:31:06,402 --> 01:31:07,933
Here we go, from the top.
1750
01:31:08,069 --> 01:31:11,197
Mrs. Presley is quite
the homemaker, Priscilla is,
1751
01:31:11,333 --> 01:31:12,774
and I'm sure
she would love to have
1752
01:31:12,909 --> 01:31:16,039
one of the SK551 machines
so she can knit Elvis's--
1753
01:31:16,174 --> 01:31:18,340
-They were in there all night.
-Doing what?
1754
01:31:18,475 --> 01:31:20,378
He's working on a new song.
He says he's singing it.
1755
01:31:20,514 --> 01:31:22,145
New song? Whoa, hey!
1756
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,714
It's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. Yes!
1757
01:31:24,849 --> 01:31:26,687
Gentlemen, take your seats.
1758
01:31:29,318 --> 01:31:32,059
Now, that's
a winter wonderland.
1759
01:31:32,194 --> 01:31:33,727
Mr. Bindle.
1760
01:31:33,862 --> 01:31:38,895
You and I are
on the same page at last.
1761
01:31:39,031 --> 01:31:40,762
Bring up the lights
on the sign.
1762
01:31:40,897 --> 01:31:43,397
Okay, yeah. Let's go.
1763
01:31:43,533 --> 01:31:45,937
[stage manager] Dancers, stop.
Dancers, stop. Stop!
1764
01:31:46,903 --> 01:31:49,668
Turn about. Turn about.
1765
01:31:49,804 --> 01:31:51,703
You've got to get some roll.
I got action on the right side.
1766
01:31:51,838 --> 01:31:54,275
Turn around. Come on,
through, through, through!
1767
01:31:57,684 --> 01:32:00,017
We're lost in a cloud
1768
01:32:01,390 --> 01:32:03,889
With too much rain
1769
01:32:05,285 --> 01:32:07,728
We're trapped in a world
1770
01:32:09,059 --> 01:32:12,834
That's troubled with pain
1771
01:32:12,970 --> 01:32:18,902
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
1772
01:32:19,038 --> 01:32:25,911
He can redeem
his soul and fly
1773
01:32:30,382 --> 01:32:37,923
Deep in my heart
There's a trembling question
1774
01:32:38,058 --> 01:32:41,958
Still, I am sure
That the answer's
1775
01:32:42,094 --> 01:32:45,497
Answer's gonna come
somehow
1776
01:32:45,633 --> 01:32:49,165
Out there in the dark
1777
01:32:49,300 --> 01:32:53,434
There's a beckoning candle,
yeah
1778
01:32:53,569 --> 01:32:57,173
And while I can think
While I can talk
1779
01:32:57,308 --> 01:33:01,282
While I can stand
While I can walk
1780
01:33:01,417 --> 01:33:04,912
While I can dream
1781
01:33:05,048 --> 01:33:09,080
Oh, please let my dream
1782
01:33:09,215 --> 01:33:12,793
Come true, oh
1783
01:33:16,563 --> 01:33:20,225
Right now
1784
01:33:20,361 --> 01:33:22,902
Let it come true right now
1785
01:33:29,212 --> 01:33:31,779
[song ends]
1786
01:33:34,140 --> 01:33:35,475
[faint applause]
1787
01:33:35,610 --> 01:33:37,512
[Elvis on monitor]
Thank you. Good night.
1788
01:33:37,647 --> 01:33:40,013
[Parker] I was always said,
when it came to music,
1789
01:33:40,148 --> 01:33:41,880
my boy knows best.
1790
01:33:42,016 --> 01:33:46,618
But the special was my idea.
It was a tremendous hit.
1791
01:33:47,662 --> 01:33:49,326
We was back on top.
1792
01:33:49,462 --> 01:33:53,159
But some people were
putting ideas into his head
1793
01:33:53,294 --> 01:33:56,967
that he didn't need me no more.
1794
01:33:57,102 --> 01:33:59,631
["Any Day Now"
by Presley playing]
1795
01:34:02,643 --> 01:34:03,811
[Priscilla] Whoo-hoo!
1796
01:34:05,271 --> 01:34:06,505
It's working.
1797
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:07,979
[Jerry] London, Germany,
Japan...
1798
01:34:08,114 --> 01:34:09,514
Hulett here has got it
all lined up.
1799
01:34:09,650 --> 01:34:11,447
Air Presley's new wings.
1800
01:34:11,583 --> 01:34:13,513
[Hulett] You know, when you
play stadiums, it's like...
1801
01:34:13,648 --> 01:34:15,449
you do a week of shows
in just one night.
1802
01:34:15,584 --> 01:34:17,891
And when it's done,
you get on the plane...
1803
01:34:18,026 --> 01:34:20,026
You go where you want,
you play where you want,
1804
01:34:20,161 --> 01:34:22,554
and if they don't like it,
you go someplace else.
1805
01:34:22,689 --> 01:34:24,565
You know who told me that?
B.B. King.
1806
01:34:24,700 --> 01:34:26,497
[Hulett]
Well, B.B. knows, man.
1807
01:34:26,632 --> 01:34:28,730
And the someplace else
you should be going
is overseas.
1808
01:34:28,865 --> 01:34:30,499
I like that.
1809
01:34:30,635 --> 01:34:32,570
You know, I heard last year
alone, you had two offers.
1810
01:34:32,705 --> 01:34:34,103
Germany and Japan,
1811
01:34:34,238 --> 01:34:37,108
for a million bucks
for one night.
1812
01:34:37,243 --> 01:34:39,379
I mean, why the Colonel
would turn that down,
1813
01:34:39,515 --> 01:34:41,014
I have no idea, man.
1814
01:34:41,149 --> 01:34:43,447
Well, if you figure it out,
can you let us know?
1815
01:34:43,582 --> 01:34:45,019
Yeah.
1816
01:34:45,154 --> 01:34:45,913
[Hulett] Well, screw him.
You've got the plane now.
1817
01:34:46,048 --> 01:34:47,422
You should use it.
1818
01:34:47,557 --> 01:34:49,449
[Elvis] Yeah, come to Daddy.
1819
01:34:49,585 --> 01:34:51,559
Maybe we should call it
the "Lisa Marie."
1820
01:34:51,694 --> 01:34:52,854
[Jerry]
That's a beautiful name.
1821
01:34:52,989 --> 01:34:54,059
[Priscilla] Right?
1822
01:34:56,499 --> 01:34:59,724
[Parker] Hit me. Hit me.
1823
01:34:59,859 --> 01:35:04,228
Mr. Parker, Mr. Kohn
would like to see you.
1824
01:35:04,364 --> 01:35:06,698
Colonel Parker. Hit me.
1825
01:35:08,841 --> 01:35:10,845
[dealer] I can't, sorry.
1826
01:35:13,908 --> 01:35:16,378
[Kohn] You've run up
quite a tab, Colonel.
1827
01:35:16,513 --> 01:35:19,755
And we hear your boy's working
with new people.
1828
01:35:20,855 --> 01:35:23,522
You've lost your meal ticket.
1829
01:35:23,658 --> 01:35:25,890
It's time to settle up,
1830
01:35:26,026 --> 01:35:28,427
before we have
to make things...
1831
01:35:28,563 --> 01:35:30,592
Uncomfortable.
1832
01:35:30,727 --> 01:35:33,698
Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.
1833
01:35:33,834 --> 01:35:36,496
No passport, no residency.
1834
01:35:36,632 --> 01:35:39,473
You were never a colonel.
Never a Tom.
1835
01:35:39,609 --> 01:35:41,337
You weren't even a Parker.
1836
01:35:41,473 --> 01:35:46,980
Why did you flee Holland,
Andreas van Kuijk?

-[brushing teeth]
-[Priscilla] I don't know why
1838
01:35:52,649 --> 01:35:54,316
you can't just let
the lawyers take care of it.
1839
01:35:54,451 --> 01:35:56,089
[Elvis] I have to see him
in Vegas.
1840
01:35:56,225 --> 01:35:58,419
He's in the hospital.
It's the right thing to do.
1841
01:35:58,554 --> 01:35:59,794
-Yeah, well...
-He's frail right now.
1842
01:35:59,929 --> 01:36:01,123
-You know what he's like, baby.
-[slaps]
1843
01:36:01,259 --> 01:36:03,262
-Hey! Watch it.
-[chatter on TV]
1844
01:36:03,397 --> 01:36:05,133
You know what he's like.
The second that
you're near him,
1845
01:36:05,269 --> 01:36:07,562
you'll be under ten feet
of snow before you know
what's happened.
1846
01:36:07,697 --> 01:36:10,668
[spits] My mind's made up.
Business is business.
1847
01:36:10,803 --> 01:36:12,137
He and I are done.
1848
01:36:12,272 --> 01:36:14,107
But I owe it to him
to tell him to his face.
1849
01:36:14,242 --> 01:36:17,609
Well, just make sure he
doesn't clip your wings, honey.
1850
01:36:17,744 --> 01:36:19,439
[spits] He won't!
1851
01:36:19,575 --> 01:36:22,182
I am gonna go
see him in Vegas.
1852
01:36:22,318 --> 01:36:26,913
I'm gonna look him in the eyes,
and I'm gonna tell him...
1853
01:36:27,048 --> 01:36:28,952
-[Priscilla] Watch my hair.
-[Elvis] I'm gonna tell him...
1854
01:36:29,087 --> 01:36:30,423

-Mmm-hmm.

Oh. My boy.

come down to see you.

You're not meant
to get out of bed.

Heart attack?
Colonel, you said your back--
1875
01:37:22,805 --> 01:37:26,513
My heart just stopped is all,

It was all the excitement about
the Christmas special, you see.

01:37:35,692 --> 01:37:37,024
I should never have worried,

because you came through
like you always do.

01:37:40,987 --> 01:37:45,356
Nobody can sell "show"

our separate ways.
1889
01:38:04,349 --> 01:38:06,779
[slot machines
clattering faintly]
1890
01:38:07,921 --> 01:38:09,923
Well, you may be right.
1891
01:38:10,058 --> 01:38:12,586
Maybe it is time for me
to retire.
1892
01:38:12,722 --> 01:38:14,627
Oh, come on, Colonel,
quit snowin' me.
1893
01:38:14,763 --> 01:38:16,192
You ain't retiring.
1894
01:38:16,327 --> 01:38:20,430
I will miss the circus. I will.
1895
01:38:20,565 --> 01:38:22,801
But I cannot keep up
with these young fellas,
1896
01:38:22,936 --> 01:38:24,532
like your Mr. Hulett,
1897
01:38:24,667 --> 01:38:27,432
who wants to put together
a new show
1898
01:38:27,568 --> 01:38:30,138
for an international tour,
1899
01:38:30,274 --> 01:38:32,708
for you to play stadiums.
1900
01:38:32,843 --> 01:38:38,151
These international tours
are very, very expensive.
1901
01:38:38,287 --> 01:38:41,756
And the costs
cut into the artist's profits.
1902
01:38:41,891 --> 01:38:43,825
I worry that the financial risk
1903
01:38:43,961 --> 01:38:46,760
would put a strain
on your daddy.
1904
01:38:46,895 --> 01:38:48,455
But I cannot help but think,
1905
01:38:48,591 --> 01:38:50,425
as your former
technical advisor
1906
01:38:50,561 --> 01:38:53,663
and as an old friend,
what if...
1907
01:38:53,799 --> 01:38:58,501
the next Elvis Presley show
did not cost you a red cent?
1908
01:39:01,444 --> 01:39:06,509
I wonder if your daddy would
not like the sound of that.
1909
01:39:08,018 --> 01:39:11,316
The brand-new
International Hotel.
1910
01:39:30,974 --> 01:39:33,597
[whistles]
It's a mighty big stage.
1911
01:39:33,733 --> 01:39:35,670
The biggest in Las Vegas.
1912
01:39:35,805 --> 01:39:37,870
You could get lost
in a place like this.
1913
01:39:38,006 --> 01:39:40,772
My boy, you performed
that comeback special
1914
01:39:40,908 --> 01:39:43,717
on a tiny square,
inside a studio,
1915
01:39:43,852 --> 01:39:45,509
and the fans loved it.
1916
01:39:45,645 --> 01:39:47,155
In a room this size,
1917
01:39:47,290 --> 01:39:51,849
you could give them
the greatest show on earth.
1918
01:39:51,985 --> 01:39:55,590
Nothing less
than Elvis Presley.
1919
01:39:55,726 --> 01:39:58,665
I've been experimenting
with a new, big sound.
1920
01:39:58,801 --> 01:40:00,067
Good. Good, my boy.
1921
01:40:00,203 --> 01:40:02,236
Because you can fill up
this entire stage
1922
01:40:02,371 --> 01:40:04,996
with every musical idea
that is inside that head.
1923
01:40:06,203 --> 01:40:07,570
No, it would cost.
1924
01:40:07,705 --> 01:40:10,078
[laughing]
Yes, that's the beauty of it.
1925
01:40:10,213 --> 01:40:12,012
You see, this here
International Hotel--
1926
01:40:12,148 --> 01:40:14,412
-[voices chattering]
-[door shuts]
1927
01:40:18,287 --> 01:40:19,883
[quietly]
This International Hotel...
1928
01:40:20,018 --> 01:40:20,986
[Elvis] Mmm-hmm.
1929
01:40:21,122 --> 01:40:23,817
...needs a major drawing card
1930
01:40:23,952 --> 01:40:27,654
to pull in all the rubes
and put it on the map.
1931
01:40:27,789 --> 01:40:30,424
So they will cover
all of the costs
1932
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:32,594
of putting together your show.
1933
01:40:32,729 --> 01:40:34,393
And you just play here
for six weeks,
1934
01:40:34,529 --> 01:40:36,329
and then off you go,
1935
01:40:36,465 --> 01:40:39,163
to tour around the world
1936
01:40:39,298 --> 01:40:43,103
with no financial risk
to Elvis Presley Enterprises.
1937
01:40:43,238 --> 01:40:44,508
None.
1938
01:40:49,279 --> 01:40:51,284
Well, goddamn.
1939
01:40:54,283 --> 01:40:55,882
[both chuckling]
1940
01:40:57,953 --> 01:41:00,788
-Snowman strikes again.
-[laughing] Oh, yeah.
1941
01:41:00,923 --> 01:41:05,062
We're going to make it snow.
It will snow.
1942
01:41:05,198 --> 01:41:07,427
[Elvis] First of all,
we're gonna need
the Sweet Inspirations.
1943
01:41:07,563 --> 01:41:09,760
[singing] Yeah, yeah
1944
01:41:09,896 --> 01:41:11,804
[Elvis] And the Imperials.
1945
01:41:11,939 --> 01:41:14,107
[singing] We're caught
in a trap
I can't walk out
1946
01:41:14,243 --> 01:41:16,172
[Elvis]
And a 30-piece orchestra.
1947
01:41:16,307 --> 01:41:19,774
[musicians warming up]
1948
01:41:23,919 --> 01:41:26,446
[Elvis] You know,
the first thing
that I ever recorded,
1949
01:41:26,582 --> 01:41:28,047
the very first thing,
1950
01:41:28,182 --> 01:41:31,050
was an old, uh, rhythm
and blues-type song
1951
01:41:31,185 --> 01:41:33,285
called "That's All Right,
Little Mama."
1952
01:41:33,420 --> 01:41:35,823
-[instruments continue playing]
-And back then we only had
1953
01:41:35,959 --> 01:41:39,067
two or three instruments
at the time.
1954
01:41:39,202 --> 01:41:41,092
But this ain't
no nostalgia show.
1955
01:41:41,227 --> 01:41:43,100
We're gonna do something
different.
1956
01:41:43,236 --> 01:41:44,799
[instruments stop playing]
1957
01:41:47,209 --> 01:41:51,477
I, uh...
I wanna try something new.
1958
01:41:51,613 --> 01:41:55,177
All right, Glen, you're gonna
start us off, okay?
1959
01:41:55,313 --> 01:41:56,547
Take the intro here.
1960
01:41:57,413 --> 01:42:00,679
[scatting softly]
1961
01:42:00,814 --> 01:42:03,323
[Glen playing lively rhythm]
1962
01:42:07,458 --> 01:42:09,560
[piano continues playing]
1963
01:42:13,830 --> 01:42:15,401
All right, bring that
bass up, Jerry.
1964
01:42:15,536 --> 01:42:18,129
-[bass thrumming]
-[drums accompanying]
1965
01:42:19,809 --> 01:42:20,967
Keep playing.
1966
01:42:23,341 --> 01:42:24,678
[band member] Whoo!

[The Imperials]
That's all right

[Elvis] With me.
1973
01:42:33,957 --> 01:42:35,514
[all] Any way you do
1974
01:42:35,649 --> 01:42:36,488
[Elvis] All right.
1975
01:42:41,625 --> 01:42:43,163
[Elvis] James, you ready?
1976

-[Elvis] Oh!
1977

Flames, man!
1978
01:42:53,134 --> 01:42:55,072
Flames are coming
out of that guitar.
1979
01:42:55,208 --> 01:42:57,878
I got that. Ronnie.
1980
01:42:58,013 --> 01:42:59,104
I'll get back to that.
1981
01:42:59,882 --> 01:43:02,674
Horns, you ready?
1982

Let's up the octave!

in higher range]

-Yeah! Goddamn!

[Elvis] Ronnie,
you know what to do, man.
1991
01:43:27,739 --> 01:43:29,767
Do it to me, come on.
Take us home.

Ain't nobody gonna do
a better show than that.

01:46:12,504 --> 01:46:13,901
I tell ya, if I was you,
2032
01:46:14,037 --> 01:46:16,202
I would book him
for a hundred years.
2033
01:46:17,613 --> 01:46:20,581
Well, no better time
than the present.
2034
01:46:20,716 --> 01:46:23,909
But we hear Hulett has him
doing a world tour.
2035
01:46:24,045 --> 01:46:25,585
[Elvis speaking indistinctly]
2036
01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:28,722
Well, well, well, uh,
I think Mr. Presley
2037
01:46:28,858 --> 01:46:32,425
could be persuaded to make
the International his home,
2038
01:46:32,561 --> 01:46:36,063
provided he was paid
pretty well.
2039
01:46:36,199 --> 01:46:37,863
What did you have in mind?
2040
01:46:37,999 --> 01:46:40,095
I'd like to introduce to you
a couple of people tonight,
2041
01:46:40,230 --> 01:46:42,861
one of which being
my beautiful wife, Priscilla.

[applause, whistling]
2043
01:46:44,768 --> 01:46:46,233
Would you stand up, honey?
2044
01:46:46,368 --> 01:46:49,942
For an attraction as tremendous
as Mr. Presley...
2045
01:46:50,077 --> 01:46:53,747
-[woman] We love you,
Priscilla!
-[Elvis chuckles]
2046
01:46:53,883 --> 01:46:57,243
Also, this man over here,
I wouldn't be here without,
2047
01:46:57,378 --> 01:47:00,551
my manager of many years,
Colonel Sanders.
2048
01:47:00,686 --> 01:47:04,316
-Parker. Parker.
-[laughter]
2049
01:47:04,452 --> 01:47:06,524
Well, we're gonna do a new song
for you tonight.
2050
01:47:06,659 --> 01:47:08,787
It's called "Suspicious Minds."
2051
01:47:08,923 --> 01:47:10,130
"Suspicious Minds."
2052
01:47:10,265 --> 01:47:12,797
[guitar playing intro]
2053
01:47:14,599 --> 01:47:16,427
We're caught in a trap
2054
01:47:18,174 --> 01:47:20,266
I can't walk out
2055
01:47:21,808 --> 01:47:27,306
Because I love you
Too much, baby
2056
01:47:29,581 --> 01:47:31,175
Why can't you see
2057
01:47:31,310 --> 01:47:35,349
Oh, what you're doin' to me
2058
01:47:35,484 --> 01:47:41,452
Oh, when you don't believe
A word I'm sayin'?
2059
01:47:44,262 --> 01:47:50,667
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
2060
01:47:50,802 --> 01:47:53,800
And we can't build our dreams
2061
01:47:53,936 --> 01:47:57,702
On suspicious minds
2062
01:47:57,837 --> 01:48:01,379
So, if an old friend I know
Shove it up your nose
2063
01:48:01,515 --> 01:48:03,578
Stops by to say hello
2064
01:48:03,714 --> 01:48:05,345
[laughter, applause]
2065
01:48:05,481 --> 01:48:12,591
Would I still see suspicion
in your eyes?
2066
01:48:12,727 --> 01:48:16,025
That is what my boy
would expect.
2067
01:48:18,023 --> 01:48:20,696
Now... [laughs]
2068
01:48:20,832 --> 01:48:23,267
What are you going to pay me?
2069
01:48:23,402 --> 01:48:26,035
[both laughing]
2070
01:48:28,476 --> 01:48:32,446
Oh, let our love survive
2071
01:48:32,582 --> 01:48:37,510
Colonel, your sideshow
is the jackpot.
2072
01:48:37,646 --> 01:48:39,048
[laughs]
2073
01:48:39,183 --> 01:48:41,585
[Kohn] If you bring him back
every year,
2074
01:48:41,721 --> 01:48:44,148
I'll make it worth your while.
2075
01:48:44,284 --> 01:48:46,561
[Elvis] Oh, I've never...
2076
01:48:49,022 --> 01:48:51,566

2077
01:48:52,796 --> 01:48:54,162
Caught in a trap
2078
01:48:55,865 --> 01:48:58,667
I can't walk out
2079
01:48:58,802 --> 01:49:00,399
...good thing die
2080
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:06,905
Yeah, yeah
Now, don't you know
2081
01:49:07,041 --> 01:49:08,048
Caught in a trap
2082
01:49:08,183 --> 01:49:09,078
[cheering]
2083
01:49:10,253 --> 01:49:11,916
I can't walk out
2084
01:49:13,522 --> 01:49:16,591
Because I love you too much
2085
01:49:20,455 --> 01:49:25,061
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
2086
01:49:26,535 --> 01:49:29,296
Because I love you too much
2087
01:49:33,402 --> 01:49:38,074
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
2088
01:49:39,515 --> 01:49:42,276
Because I love you too much
2089
01:49:46,382 --> 01:49:50,581
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
2090
01:49:52,354 --> 01:49:57,489
Because I love you
Too much, baby
2091
01:49:57,624 --> 01:50:00,591
Oh, don't you know
Caught in a trap
2092
01:50:02,764 --> 01:50:06,063
Of course, I will reserve
the right to sell calendars,
2093
01:50:06,198 --> 01:50:07,338
pictures and such?
2094
01:50:07,473 --> 01:50:10,469
[music subsides]
2095
01:50:10,604 --> 01:50:12,504
[Kohn] You do whatever
you want, Colonel,
2096
01:50:12,639 --> 01:50:16,508
as long as that boy
stays on that stage.
2097
01:50:19,419 --> 01:50:22,386
[song ends]
2098
01:50:22,521 --> 01:50:23,724

2099
01:50:28,594 --> 01:50:30,830
[audio fades]
2100
01:50:30,965 --> 01:50:33,158
[Parker] My boy's light
burned brighter
2101
01:50:33,294 --> 01:50:36,027
than even 15 years before.
2102
01:50:36,163 --> 01:50:37,364
[Elvis] Hi, darlin'.
2103
01:50:39,836 --> 01:50:42,270
[women exclaiming]
2104
01:51:05,198 --> 01:51:08,193
[Parker] I saw in her face
that night
2105
01:51:08,328 --> 01:51:11,169
what I had always known.
2106
01:51:11,305 --> 01:51:16,711
She could never compete
with the love he felt from you.
2107
01:51:19,811 --> 01:51:22,343
[music slowly builds]
2108
01:51:24,810 --> 01:51:26,545
I'm sorry I couldn't
make it up there, man.
2109
01:51:28,216 --> 01:51:32,516
Take my... take my hand
2110
01:51:32,652 --> 01:51:37,390
Take my whole...
whole life too
2111
01:51:37,526 --> 01:51:39,862
For I... for I...
I can't help
2112
01:51:39,997 --> 01:51:41,501
Hey, guys. Time to go back.
2113
01:51:41,636 --> 01:51:45,399
Falling in love with you
2114
01:51:45,534 --> 01:51:51,003
Oh, oh, for I...
For I can't help
2115
01:51:51,138 --> 01:51:54,511
Falling in love
2116
01:51:54,646 --> 01:51:59,886
With you
2117

[band playing final flourish]
2119
01:52:20,036 --> 01:52:21,600
Thank you very much.
2120
01:52:25,745 --> 01:52:27,738
Thank you! Thank you.
2121
01:52:31,951 --> 01:52:34,789
[people chattering excitedly]
2122
01:52:37,392 --> 01:52:39,354
[panting]
2123
01:52:42,387 --> 01:52:44,223
Such a fine show.
2124
01:52:44,358 --> 01:52:46,559
[applause continues faintly]
2125
01:52:47,967 --> 01:52:49,667
[bandmates cheering, clapping]
2126
01:52:49,803 --> 01:52:51,633
[Elvis] Yeah, baby! Yeah.
2127
01:52:51,768 --> 01:52:54,105
-[bandmate 1] Wow, great show.
-Thank you. Thank you, all.
2128
01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:56,600
[bandmate 2] Goddamn, Elvis.
That was great.
2129
01:52:56,736 --> 01:52:57,807
[bandmate 3]
That was fantastic.
2130
01:52:57,942 --> 01:52:58,936
[Elvis] There she is.
2131
01:52:59,072 --> 01:53:00,309
[laughs]
2132
01:53:04,243 --> 01:53:06,579
[crying softly]
2133
01:53:08,991 --> 01:53:11,325
Oh, God. I don't know
who that was out there.
2134
01:53:11,460 --> 01:53:13,617
You were... You...
2135
01:53:13,753 --> 01:53:15,219
You were incredible.
You were...
2136
01:53:15,355 --> 01:53:16,497
You were everything.
2137
01:53:16,632 --> 01:53:19,966
Thank you, baby. Thank you.
2138
01:53:21,866 --> 01:53:23,795
Mr. Elvis Presley,
2139
01:53:23,930 --> 01:53:26,539
I guess that's your
new manager over there, hmm?
2140
01:53:26,675 --> 01:53:28,336
-Mmm.
-Mmm-hmm.
2141
01:53:28,472 --> 01:53:30,667
Yeah. I'm gonna go talk to him,
all right?
2142
01:53:30,803 --> 01:53:32,510
-Okay.
-You okay to get upstairs?
2143
01:53:32,646 --> 01:53:33,705
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
2144
01:53:35,482 --> 01:53:36,411
[sighs]
2145
01:53:49,030 --> 01:53:51,994
Tremendous...
tremendous triumph.
2146
01:53:52,129 --> 01:53:54,892
The greatest show on earth.
2147
01:53:55,028 --> 01:53:59,703
My dear boy, this brainchild
came from you and me,
2148
01:53:59,838 --> 01:54:03,470
but you alone
rose above it all,
and it worked with your talent,
2149
01:54:03,606 --> 01:54:06,909
and your dedication.
[emotional laugh]
2150
01:54:07,044 --> 01:54:08,572
We did it. We did it!
2151
01:54:08,707 --> 01:54:10,478
-We did it. [chuckles]
-We did.
2152
01:54:12,117 --> 01:54:14,882
Come on.
[exhausted laugh]
2153
01:54:15,017 --> 01:54:16,750
[exhaling]
2154
01:54:16,885 --> 01:54:19,685
I can't wait to show the world
what you and I can do.
2155
01:54:22,490 --> 01:54:24,765
The world will see this show.
2156
01:54:24,900 --> 01:54:26,896
Whatever it takes,
I guarantee it.
2157
01:54:27,031 --> 01:54:28,364
Whatever I have to do.
2158
01:54:32,504 --> 01:54:33,798
[man] Ladies and gentlemen
of the press,
2159
01:54:33,933 --> 01:54:36,708
the King of Rock and Roll,
Elvis Presley!

01:54:36,843 --> 01:54:38,436
[reporters clamoring]
2161
01:54:38,572 --> 01:54:40,113
[Elvis] No, I'm not the king.
2162
01:54:40,249 --> 01:54:42,917
Hey, Fats. Mr. Fats Domino,
ladies and gentlemen.
2163
01:54:43,052 --> 01:54:44,782
This is the real king
of rock and roll.
2164
01:54:44,918 --> 01:54:46,383
Yeah, I'm somethin' else.
2165
01:54:46,518 --> 01:54:48,517
[reporter] Any plans
to take this show on tour?
2166
01:54:48,652 --> 01:54:50,684
There's so many places
I haven't been yet, you know.
2167
01:54:50,820 --> 01:54:54,619
I'd like to go to Europe.
I'd like to go to Japan.
2168
01:54:54,755 --> 01:54:56,629
I've never been
out of the country,
2169
01:54:56,764 --> 01:54:58,126
except in the service.
2170

[crowd cheering]
2172
01:55:04,336 --> 01:55:05,863
What are you lookin' at
back there?
2173
01:55:06,739 --> 01:55:07,764
Oh, Mr. Diskin.
2174
01:55:07,900 --> 01:55:09,436
Have we discussed
with Mr. Hulett,
2175
01:55:09,572 --> 01:55:11,203
pertaining
to the death threats?
2176
01:55:11,338 --> 01:55:13,239
The death threats?
2177
01:55:13,375 --> 01:55:15,976
Precisely. Death threats!
2178
01:55:16,111 --> 01:55:17,584
[cheering]
2179
01:55:17,719 --> 01:55:19,745

Grow so mean

[Jerry] Colonel,
once we finish the season,
2186
01:55:35,094 --> 01:55:36,961
Elvis wants
to take the tour overseas.
2187
01:55:37,096 --> 01:55:40,201
Overseas? Have you thought
about security, Jerry?
2188
01:55:40,337 --> 01:55:42,270
[Jerry] Of course I have.
2189
01:55:42,405 --> 01:55:44,307
[Parker] This is Elvis Presley,
2190
01:55:44,443 --> 01:55:47,473
the most famous man
on the planet.

Lord, have mercy
2193
01:55:51,881 --> 01:55:53,183
[Parker] The crazies
in those countries...
2194
01:55:53,319 --> 01:55:55,517
They're a hundred times
more dangerous.
2195
01:55:55,653 --> 01:55:58,351
Am I the only one
who thinks about security?
2196
01:55:58,486 --> 01:56:01,419
Sock a little polk salad
2197
01:56:01,554 --> 01:56:02,854
You know I need it
2198
01:56:04,661 --> 01:56:07,698
There is nothing more important
than security!
2199
01:56:07,833 --> 01:56:09,828

[song ends]
2207
01:56:40,631 --> 01:56:42,266
[Parker] Those guys
turned out to be
2208
01:56:42,401 --> 01:56:44,698
some over-excited fans
from Peru.
2209
01:56:44,833 --> 01:56:47,236
But the death threats
were real.
2210
01:56:47,372 --> 01:56:49,769
I'm going back on.
[panting]
2211
01:56:49,904 --> 01:56:52,068
I'll rip his goddamn tongue out
by the roots.
2212
01:56:52,204 --> 01:56:55,974
[Parker] It started
to take its toll.
2213
01:56:56,109 --> 01:56:59,078
Here at Baptist Memorial
Hospital in Midtown Memphis,
2214
01:56:59,213 --> 01:57:02,216
Elvis Presley has apparently
checked in to a private suite,
2215
01:57:02,352 --> 01:57:04,056
suffering from exhaustion.
2216
01:57:04,191 --> 01:57:06,318
A sign that Elvis
is in fact here
2217
01:57:06,453 --> 01:57:10,329
is the aluminum foil
that covers his windows
to deflect the sun.

[TV reporter]
Shock around the nation today
2219
01:57:12,126 --> 01:57:14,332
as a free rock concert
at the Altamont Speedway

by English band
The Rolling Stones,
2221
01:57:16,905 --> 01:57:18,701
ended with four deaths.
2222
01:57:18,836 --> 01:57:21,237
One resulting from a stabbing,
allegedly committed...
2223
01:57:21,373 --> 01:57:23,506
[nurse] Elvis,
Dr. Nick is here.
2224
01:57:25,511 --> 01:57:27,412
[Parker] Such a lovely girl,
Ms. Tate.
2225
01:57:27,547 --> 01:57:30,079
What has happened to law
and order in this country?
2226
01:57:30,214 --> 01:57:31,943
Hippies and radicals,
2227
01:57:32,078 --> 01:57:35,388
threatening and killing
popular entertainers.
2228
01:57:35,524 --> 01:57:39,659
The IRA blowing up England?
Planes exploding in mid-air?
2229
01:57:39,795 --> 01:57:41,151
Has the world gone mad?
2230
01:57:41,286 --> 01:57:44,058
Hulett's security
is not what it needs to be.
2231
01:57:44,193 --> 01:57:45,628
And he knows it.
2232
01:57:45,763 --> 01:57:47,925
An international tour now
is out of the question.
2233
01:57:48,060 --> 01:57:49,833
What are you talking about,
Colonel?
2234
01:57:49,968 --> 01:57:51,835
I ain't gonna let these sons of
bitches push me off the stage.
2235
01:57:51,970 --> 01:57:53,471
Precisely.
2236
01:57:53,606 --> 01:57:55,236
You are not one of Hulett's
long-hair Zeppelins,
2237
01:57:55,371 --> 01:57:57,302
you are Elvis Presley.
2238
01:57:57,437 --> 01:57:59,246
You are beloved.
2239
01:57:59,381 --> 01:58:02,107
And I told him I have to
look Priscilla in the eye,
2240
01:58:02,243 --> 01:58:06,977
and I have to promise her
that little Lisa Marie's daddy
2241
01:58:07,113 --> 01:58:10,113
will be safe while
he's away from home.
2242
01:58:10,249 --> 01:58:11,915
We're taking the show
to the world, Colonel.
2243
01:58:12,051 --> 01:58:14,227
I ain't gonna disappoint
those fans.
2244
01:58:18,600 --> 01:58:20,665
Well...
2245
01:58:20,800 --> 01:58:25,629
If you want to book more dates,
we could do an American tour,
2246
01:58:25,764 --> 01:58:28,036
15 cities in 15 days,
2247
01:58:28,172 --> 01:58:31,604
while Mr. Hulett
straightens out his security
problems overseas.
2248
01:58:31,739 --> 01:58:33,804
I'd like that
very much, son.
2249
01:58:33,939 --> 01:58:35,345
How is that gonna be any safer?
2250
01:58:35,481 --> 01:58:37,546
[Parker] Because staying
in this country,
2251
01:58:37,682 --> 01:58:41,448
I can handle every aspect
of security.
2252
01:58:41,584 --> 01:58:43,048
And then we go international?
2253
01:58:43,183 --> 01:58:46,125
Yeah, sure, around the world.
Wherever you want.
2254
01:58:46,261 --> 01:58:47,551
But in the meantime,
here in America,
2255
01:58:47,687 --> 01:58:50,193
we put on a great show.
2256
01:58:50,329 --> 01:58:51,622
And what will we do, Charlie?
2257
01:58:51,757 --> 01:58:53,398
And have a lot of fun.
2258
01:58:54,331 --> 01:58:56,797
Taking care of business.
2259
01:58:58,566 --> 01:59:00,997
Taking care of business.
2260
01:59:01,133 --> 01:59:04,673
["Burning Love"
by Presley playing]
2261
01:59:07,616 --> 01:59:10,943
[Parker] I'll get guarantees
from every mayor.
2262
01:59:11,078 --> 01:59:13,145
We'll double
the police presence.
2263
01:59:13,281 --> 01:59:15,981
You'll have more security
than the President.
2264
01:59:16,956 --> 01:59:18,787
[crowd cheering]
2265
01:59:18,922 --> 01:59:22,790
Lord Almighty
I feel my temperature rising
2266
01:59:24,799 --> 01:59:28,697
Higher, higher
It's burning through
to my soul
2267
01:59:30,869 --> 01:59:36,575
Girl, girl, girl
You're gonna set me on fire
2268
01:59:36,711 --> 01:59:39,410
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
2269
01:59:39,546 --> 01:59:41,073
[Parker] And when
the show is done,
2270
01:59:41,209 --> 01:59:44,082
the boys will hustle you
to the motorcade.
2271
01:59:44,217 --> 01:59:46,442
Elvis has left the building.
2272
01:59:46,578 --> 01:59:50,290
Once you're in the air,
Dr. Nick will ensure your rest.
2273
01:59:51,321 --> 01:59:53,087
Burnin' love
2274
01:59:53,222 --> 01:59:55,585
[Parker] Land in the next city,
then we do it all again.
2275
01:59:55,721 --> 01:59:57,088
Fifteen times!
2276
01:59:57,223 --> 02:00:00,025
I'm just a hunk
A hunk of burning love
2277
02:00:00,160 --> 02:00:02,164
I'm just a hunk
A hunk of burning love
2278
02:00:02,300 --> 02:00:04,867
[Parker] It was life
on the road,
just like the old days.
2279
02:00:05,002 --> 02:00:09,034
We were making so much snow,
we did it again.
2280
02:00:11,242 --> 02:00:12,675
And again.
2281
02:00:13,541 --> 02:00:15,512
And again.
2282
02:00:15,648 --> 02:00:18,846
All in the safety
of the US of A.
2283
02:00:22,581 --> 02:00:25,890
Eventually, he lost interest
in going overseas.
2284
02:00:26,026 --> 02:00:27,859
Why would you?
2285
02:00:27,994 --> 02:00:32,323
But I still kept my promise.
I brought the world to him.
2286
02:00:32,459 --> 02:00:36,434
I invented the world's
first ever satellite concert.
2287
02:00:36,570 --> 02:00:39,398
["It's Only Love"
by Presley playing]
2288
02:00:39,534 --> 02:00:44,741
[Parker] 1.5 billion people in
one night, for a single artist.
2289
02:00:44,876 --> 02:00:48,073
Nothing like it before,
nothing like it since.

[band playing final fanfare]
2291
02:00:57,786 --> 02:01:00,353
[Parker] But it wasn't enough.
2292
02:01:00,488 --> 02:01:06,398
He was addicted to the love
he felt from you onstage.
2293
02:01:06,534 --> 02:01:09,798
Ordinary love
just didn't compare.
2294
02:01:11,298 --> 02:01:15,976
So, in the lonely moments
between shows,
2295
02:01:16,111 --> 02:01:19,435
he turned to them pills.
2296
02:01:19,571 --> 02:01:21,810
Priscilla, I want you to
do something for me, will you?
2297
02:01:21,945 --> 02:01:25,352
You give my baby girl
a big hug for me, okay?

The roar of the crowd.

Ain't no one
gonna walk around

Elvis Presley.

through the side door?

No. I couldn't care less
about whoever it is

you sneak through
the side door.
2323

It's about this, Elvis.
2324
02:02:32,452 --> 02:02:33,913
-And this.
-Hey. Whoa.

The only time you're happy
is when you're on that stage.

people gathered

in New Orleans earlier today
to mourn the passing

of gospel legend,
Mahalia Jackson.

02:04:51,991 --> 02:04:53,159
[Jackson] Will you
come to Mississippi
2363
02:04:53,295 --> 02:04:55,226
and sing with us, Mr. Presley?
2364
02:04:55,361 --> 02:04:59,431
Why, B.B. King will be there.
Perhaps even
the Rolling Stones.

[Elvis] I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson.

The Colonel, he...
he won't allow it.

[Jackson] You are a man,
Mr. Presley.
2368
02:05:07,499 --> 02:05:08,868
And a man don't
make up his own mind
2369

about matters of conscience.

Why won't the Colonel
let him go overseas?

02:05:17,819 --> 02:05:19,579
-Security, Jerry.
You know that.
-Bullshit!
2374
02:05:19,715 --> 02:05:21,847
The Colonel's killing
his greatest asset
without a reason.
2375
02:05:21,982 --> 02:05:23,719
So what is the reason?
2376
02:05:23,854 --> 02:05:26,425
Colonel always has his reasons.
2377
02:05:26,560 --> 02:05:28,420
I'm not at liberty to divulge

-[knocking on door]
-[Jerry] He lied.

There wasn't gonna be
an international tour
2381
02:05:33,998 --> 02:05:35,360
'cause he can't leave
the country.
2382
02:05:35,495 --> 02:05:37,598
He's got no citizenship,
no official identity.
2383

He doesn't exist.
2384

There never was
a Colonel Tom Parker.

talking about, Jerry?

[King] Colonel's a smart man.
2390
02:05:54,017 --> 02:05:55,320
There's got to be
another reason.

[Jerry] Come on, man!
2392
02:05:56,789 --> 02:05:58,216
[Parker] I will
stay here at home,
2393
02:05:58,351 --> 02:06:00,422
and I will work
and I will worry.
2394
02:06:00,557 --> 02:06:02,887
[Hulett] I mean,
why the Colonel
kept turning them down,
2395

I have no idea, man.
2396
02:06:05,631 --> 02:06:07,062
[Parker] Get out of the way!
2397
02:06:09,102 --> 02:06:12,903
Now, you listen to me.
The only thing that matters...
2398
02:06:13,038 --> 02:06:16,066
is that that man
gets up on that stage tonight.
2399
02:06:16,201 --> 02:06:17,600
[overlapping chatter]
2400
02:06:17,736 --> 02:06:20,647
If he was my son,
I'd put him in a hospital.
2401
02:06:25,184 --> 02:06:28,281
Well, of course, this is
a Presley Enterprises decision.
2402
02:06:29,222 --> 02:06:30,547
Vernon?
2403
02:06:31,952 --> 02:06:34,485
Well... um...
2404
02:06:35,528 --> 02:06:37,794
Well, what can you...
2405
02:06:37,929 --> 02:06:40,128
What can you do for him,
Dr. Nick?
2406
02:06:42,430 --> 02:06:49,203
[Elvis singing]
His truth is marching on
2407
02:06:53,172 --> 02:06:54,314
[applause, cheering]
2408
02:06:54,449 --> 02:07:00,049
His truth is marching on
2409
02:07:08,493 --> 02:07:09,856
[song ends]
2410
02:07:09,991 --> 02:07:11,995
[screaming, applause]
2411
02:07:14,534 --> 02:07:16,660
Thank you. Thank you.
2412
02:07:16,795 --> 02:07:18,802
Now he's gonna ask the house
lights to be brought up,
2413
02:07:18,937 --> 02:07:20,299
'cause we've been
looking at him.
2414
02:07:20,435 --> 02:07:22,267
He wants to look at us now.
He loves this.
2415
02:07:22,403 --> 02:07:23,773
I'd like to turn
the house lights up,
2416
02:07:23,908 --> 02:07:25,705
-ladies and gentlemen.
-Eh?
2417
02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:28,643
'Cause now that you've seen me,
I'd like to take a look at you.
2418
02:07:28,779 --> 02:07:31,276
[cheering, applause]
2419
02:07:31,412 --> 02:07:33,620
Oh, you're beautiful.
Thank you.
2420
02:07:33,755 --> 02:07:35,348
He'll mention the VIPs
that are here.
2421
02:07:35,484 --> 02:07:37,555
We've got some high-rollers
in here tonight.
2422
02:07:37,690 --> 02:07:38,986
Get ready for the spotlight.
2423
02:07:39,122 --> 02:07:42,485
Mr. International Hotel
himself.
2424
02:07:42,620 --> 02:07:44,858
-Thank you.
-Ah, there you go.
2425
02:07:44,993 --> 02:07:47,426
And right next to him,
2426
02:07:47,561 --> 02:07:52,364
is my so-called manager,
Colonel Tom Parker.
2427
02:07:52,499 --> 02:07:55,940
-There he is.
-[chuckling] Come on.
2428
02:07:56,076 --> 02:08:01,279
But I hear rumors
that Colonel is an alien.
2429
02:08:01,414 --> 02:08:04,043
[laughter]
2430
02:08:04,178 --> 02:08:05,779
Got here on my rocket ship.
2431
02:08:05,915 --> 02:08:08,251
[cheering, applause]
2432
02:08:08,387 --> 02:08:09,415
Oh.
2433
02:08:13,318 --> 02:08:15,387
Somebody call the FBI
2434
02:08:15,523 --> 02:08:17,962
and tell 'em that
he has abducted me,
2435
02:08:18,097 --> 02:08:22,429
that he has locked me
in this golden cage,
2436
02:08:22,564 --> 02:08:26,568
to keep me here forever
with you, ladies and gentlemen.
2437
02:08:26,703 --> 02:08:29,666
[light applause]
2438
02:08:29,801 --> 02:08:32,410
[singing, slurred]
So I'm caught in a trap
2439
02:08:32,545 --> 02:08:35,078
I can't get out
2440
02:08:36,577 --> 02:08:40,116
'Cause Colonel's got some
big debts, baby.
2441
02:08:44,182 --> 02:08:46,288
Excuse me.
2442
02:08:46,423 --> 02:08:49,790
Well, this is the last show
I'm ever playing here.
2443
02:08:49,925 --> 02:08:51,326
[scattered groans]
2444
02:08:51,461 --> 02:08:56,595
I'm gonna get on my jet plane,
the Lisa Marie...
2445
02:08:56,730 --> 02:09:01,164
It's named after my, uh...
my beautiful daughter.
2446
02:09:01,300 --> 02:09:03,304
And I'm gonna fly away.
2447
02:09:05,105 --> 02:09:07,172
No, no, no...
2448
02:09:07,308 --> 02:09:10,244
You know, I'm gonna fly away.
2449
02:09:10,380 --> 02:09:12,277
[whispers] Stop the show.
Stop this show!
2450
02:09:12,412 --> 02:09:13,517
Come on,
get this curtain down.
2451
02:09:13,653 --> 02:09:15,581
Fuck the International.
2452
02:09:15,716 --> 02:09:18,950
Mr. Schilling, what the devil
is happening here?
2453
02:09:19,086 --> 02:09:20,485
And Las Vegas.
2454
02:09:20,621 --> 02:09:21,793
[Jerry] That's what
he wants to know.
2455
02:09:21,929 --> 02:09:24,292
Ain't no one
gonna stop me, man.
2456
02:09:25,961 --> 02:09:28,729
Oh! Security.
2457
02:09:28,864 --> 02:09:30,269
Security!
2458
02:09:30,404 --> 02:09:31,735
[babbling]
2459
02:09:31,871 --> 02:09:35,472
Security, security! Security!
2460
02:09:35,607 --> 02:09:37,770
800 shows!
2461
02:09:37,905 --> 02:09:40,770
You don't have
a goddamn passport,
you son of a bitch!
2462
02:09:41,548 --> 02:09:43,146
You are fired!
2463
02:09:43,946 --> 02:09:45,951
You are fired!
2464
02:09:46,817 --> 02:09:49,185
You're fired!
2465
02:09:55,858 --> 02:09:57,787
[all murmuring]
2466
02:09:59,027 --> 02:10:00,559
You're fired.
2467
02:10:03,466 --> 02:10:06,405
-[microphone thumps]
-[feedback squeals]
2468
02:10:06,540 --> 02:10:08,006
[Charlie] E., I--
2469
02:10:10,209 --> 02:10:12,637
Colonel, I gotta--
I'll talk him down.
2470
02:10:21,156 --> 02:10:23,285
This is Colonel Tom Parker.
I wish it to be known
2471
02:10:23,421 --> 02:10:26,556
that Dr. Nick's services
are no longer required.
2472
02:10:26,691 --> 02:10:28,026
Thank you.
2473
02:10:29,462 --> 02:10:31,022
Hmm.
2474
02:10:31,157 --> 02:10:32,965
Well, Diskin...
2475
02:10:33,100 --> 02:10:35,495
if the boy wants to set out
on his own,
2476
02:10:35,630 --> 02:10:38,562
it's all right by me,
but Presley Enterprises
2477
02:10:38,698 --> 02:10:41,034
is going to cough up
what it owes.
2478
02:10:41,170 --> 02:10:43,141
-Are you ready?
-Ready.
2479
02:10:43,276 --> 02:10:45,675
Gasoline for the first trip
to the Hayride...
2480
02:10:45,811 --> 02:10:47,536
one dollar and 25 cents.
2481
02:10:47,672 --> 02:10:49,540
Un-recouped promotional costs
2482
02:10:49,676 --> 02:10:52,411
pertaining to souvenir
calendars, $100.
2483
02:10:52,547 --> 02:10:54,920
Collectible trading cards,
$100.
2484
02:10:55,055 --> 02:10:58,182
Posters, flyers and programs,
$100.
2485
02:10:58,318 --> 02:11:00,349
Balloons, $50...
2486
02:11:00,485 --> 02:11:02,786
[jet engines thrumming]
2487
02:11:14,071 --> 02:11:15,269
[Elvis] What's the hold-up?
2488
02:11:15,405 --> 02:11:18,208
Sorry, E.P. Your daddy
won't come down.
2489
02:11:21,042 --> 02:11:22,377
[door opens]
2490
02:11:23,076 --> 02:11:24,082
Daddy.
2491
02:11:42,329 --> 02:11:44,266
[Elvis] What is this?
2492
02:11:44,402 --> 02:11:48,073
Well, that is what we owe
the Colonel.
2493
02:11:50,940 --> 02:11:52,572
We're broke.
2494
02:11:55,516 --> 02:11:58,243
Daddy, I've been playing this
mausoleum for a hundred years.
2495
02:11:58,378 --> 02:11:59,852
How could we be broke?
2496
02:11:59,988 --> 02:12:01,649
[Vernon] You spend
so much money.
2497
02:12:01,785 --> 02:12:05,319
You know, you got the cars
and the girls and the clothes,
2498
02:12:05,454 --> 02:12:07,486
and all the...
you know, new airplane.
2499
02:12:07,622 --> 02:12:09,094
Daddy, you are
my business manager.
2500
02:12:09,229 --> 02:12:10,624
You're supposed
to be taking care of business.
2501
02:12:10,759 --> 02:12:13,422
I don't know what to tell you,
son, we're broke!
2502
02:12:13,557 --> 02:12:15,162
We're plain broke.
2503
02:12:15,297 --> 02:12:17,163
Gotta take the Colonel back.
2504
02:12:17,299 --> 02:12:19,463
I am not taking him back.
2505
02:12:19,598 --> 02:12:21,205
We're gonna lose Graceland.
2506
02:12:33,788 --> 02:12:35,681
I am not taking him back!
2507
02:12:36,315 --> 02:12:38,691
[yelling]
2508
02:12:38,826 --> 02:12:40,124
He takes everything from me.
2509
02:12:40,260 --> 02:12:42,520
He takes 50%
of everything that I make!
2510
02:12:42,655 --> 02:12:43,925
And now he wants
to take the home
2511
02:12:44,061 --> 02:12:45,526
that we bought for Mama!
2512
02:12:46,767 --> 02:12:47,933
Listen to me, Daddy.
2513
02:12:48,069 --> 02:12:50,933
That old bastard
can sue if he wants,
2514
02:12:51,068 --> 02:12:52,863
but I am flying away.
2515
02:12:53,972 --> 02:12:55,503
With or without you.
2516
02:12:59,778 --> 02:13:01,476
[elevator dings]
2517
02:13:05,515 --> 02:13:08,888
Oh, you bloodsucking,
old vampire.
2518
02:13:09,024 --> 02:13:12,254
You bled me dry
and you still want more?
2519
02:13:12,390 --> 02:13:14,653
I'm not an uncaring man,
Mr. Presley.
2520
02:13:14,789 --> 02:13:17,757
Don't you "Mr. Presley" me,
you toad.
2521
02:13:17,892 --> 02:13:20,933
If you are so determined
to get out of our contract--
2522
02:13:21,069 --> 02:13:22,430
You're goddamn right
I want out.
2523
02:13:22,566 --> 02:13:24,398
Well, I will personally
loan you the money
2524
02:13:24,534 --> 02:13:26,434
that you owe
to Jamboree Attractions.
2525
02:13:26,570 --> 02:13:28,237
Yeah, you'll still have
your claws in me.
2526
02:13:28,373 --> 02:13:29,601
You'll still have me
working here
2527
02:13:29,737 --> 02:13:31,570
like a goddamn slave
in a salt mine,
2528
02:13:31,705 --> 02:13:34,036
you phony, no-good
piece of trash!
2529
02:13:34,171 --> 02:13:37,743
I oughta shoot you in your fat,
goddamn face!
2530
02:13:38,883 --> 02:13:40,147
Who are you?
2531
02:13:40,283 --> 02:13:42,346
I am you. And you are me.
2532
02:13:42,481 --> 02:13:43,981
Cut the horseshit!
2533
02:13:44,116 --> 02:13:46,154
Everything I've ever known
about you has been a lie.
2534
02:13:46,289 --> 02:13:47,887
[Jerry] E.P., you all good?
2535
02:13:48,023 --> 02:13:52,488
[chuckles] My past is the least
of your problems, my boy.
2536
02:13:52,623 --> 02:13:58,031
Everyone else
you associate with
lives from you, Mr. Presley.
2537
02:13:58,166 --> 02:14:00,071
Even Vernon.
2538
02:14:00,207 --> 02:14:03,199
That's right,
even your own daddy
2539
02:14:03,335 --> 02:14:06,808
has looked after himself
before he's looked after you.
2540
02:14:06,943 --> 02:14:09,881
Yes, I have lived
from you, too,
but the difference is
2541
02:14:10,016 --> 02:14:11,779
you have also lived from me.
2542
02:14:11,915 --> 02:14:16,613
We have supported each other.
Because we shared a dream.
2543
02:14:16,748 --> 02:14:20,051
We are the same, you and I.
2544
02:14:20,187 --> 02:14:25,626
We are two odd,
lonely children,
reaching for eternity.
2545
02:14:28,300 --> 02:14:31,066
Maybe you should fly away,
my boy.
2546
02:14:31,201 --> 02:14:35,040
Away from all of this.
2547
02:14:35,176 --> 02:14:39,035
But if you do choose
to leave...
2548
02:14:40,742 --> 02:14:44,112
then I, for one,
will be very lonely.
2549
02:14:44,247 --> 02:14:46,810
So would your father.
2550
02:14:46,946 --> 02:14:50,613
But I think you may
be lonely, too.
2551
02:14:50,748 --> 02:14:52,455
[taps elevator button]
2552
02:14:53,521 --> 02:14:56,556
Oh, you see, my boy, the...
2553
02:14:56,692 --> 02:15:00,056
truth about
the Rock of Eternity...
2554
02:15:03,369 --> 02:15:08,306
It is forever
just beyond our reach.
2555
02:15:36,635 --> 02:15:41,339
[Elvis singing]
Do the chairs
in your parlor
2556
02:15:43,076 --> 02:15:46,773
Seem empty and bare?
2557
02:15:49,074 --> 02:15:53,384
Do you gaze
at your doorstep
2558
02:15:55,186 --> 02:15:58,653
Picture me there?
2559
02:16:00,988 --> 02:16:05,396
Is your heart
filled with pain?
2560
02:16:06,726 --> 02:16:10,995
Shall I come back again?
2561
02:16:12,840 --> 02:16:15,567
Tell me, dear
2562
02:16:15,703 --> 02:16:20,873
Are you lonesome tonight?
2563
02:16:22,878 --> 02:16:27,286
Is your heart
filled with pain?
2564
02:16:28,583 --> 02:16:32,885
Shall I come back again?
2565
02:16:34,862 --> 02:16:37,358
Tell me, dear
2566
02:16:37,494 --> 02:16:43,434
Are you lonesome tonight?
2567
02:16:51,409 --> 02:16:54,511
Son, I know...
I know, I...
2568
02:16:57,214 --> 02:16:59,208
I wanna try and...
2569
02:17:00,883 --> 02:17:04,213
I wanna try and fix this.
You know...
2570
02:17:08,256 --> 02:17:09,460
Daddy...
2571
02:17:15,025 --> 02:17:17,259
Tell that son of a bitch...
2572
02:17:17,394 --> 02:17:19,767
I want things to go back
to the way they were.
2573
02:17:28,278 --> 02:17:29,282
And, Daddy...
2574
02:17:31,979 --> 02:17:36,245
Tell the Colonel
to send up Dr. Nick.

["Suspicious Minds"

2576
02:17:54,465 --> 02:17:56,165
[radio DJ] It's a beautiful day
in Las Vegas,
2577
02:17:56,300 --> 02:17:57,705
with lots going on
this weekend.
2578
02:17:57,840 --> 02:18:00,111
Those teen sensations,
The Jacksons,
2579
02:18:00,246 --> 02:18:01,810
are causing a lot of excitement
2580
02:18:01,945 --> 02:18:04,177
with their residency
at the MGM Grand.
2581
02:18:04,313 --> 02:18:07,216
And for the older crowd,
Elvis is back for a fifth year.
2582
02:18:07,351 --> 02:18:08,717
And don't we love him.

[reporter]
In Entertainment News today,
2584
02:18:10,682 --> 02:18:12,952
Elvis Presley is in talks to
play opposite Barbra Streisand
2585
02:18:13,087 --> 02:18:14,857
in a remake
of A Star is Born.
2586
02:18:14,993 --> 02:18:16,425
[commentator] These days,
when he's not slurring
2587
02:18:16,560 --> 02:18:18,156
on stage in Vegas or playing
2588
02:18:18,291 --> 02:18:20,456
the same old
domestic concert circuit,
2589
02:18:20,592 --> 02:18:22,764
the singer spends weeks
at a time in his bedroom,
2590
02:18:22,899 --> 02:18:24,801
tormented by his
growing waistline.
2591
02:18:24,937 --> 02:18:26,867
Sounds like it won't be
much of a stretch for him
2592
02:18:27,002 --> 02:18:29,166
to play the role
of a washed-up singer.
2593
02:18:32,806 --> 02:18:34,875
Oh, look, here they come.
2594
02:18:37,309 --> 02:18:38,776
-[Vernon] Are you all right?
-[Elvis] Yep.
2595
02:18:38,911 --> 02:18:40,516
All right, Daddy loves you.
2596
02:18:40,652 --> 02:18:43,012
-Bye, baby.
-[Vernon] Come on, baby.
2597
02:18:43,147 --> 02:18:44,489
-Bye, Papa.
-Good girl.
2598
02:18:44,624 --> 02:18:46,656
-Bye, baby.
-[Vernon] Give me your hand.
2599
02:18:47,828 --> 02:18:49,219
Hi!
2600
02:18:49,355 --> 02:18:51,991
-[Vernon] Here she is.
-Hi, baby. How you doing?
2601
02:18:54,829 --> 02:18:56,360
Want to say goodbye to Daddy?
2602
02:18:56,496 --> 02:18:59,504
-[Lisa Marie] Bye, Daddy.
-[Priscilla] You're so good.
2603
02:19:01,198 --> 02:19:03,667
Hi. How are you?
How you doing?
2604
02:19:03,803 --> 02:19:05,169
[Vernon] We're okay.

02:19:07,213 --> 02:19:10,240
[jet engines whirring]
2606
02:19:24,524 --> 02:19:25,728
Hey.
2607
02:19:27,032 --> 02:19:28,192
Hi.
2608
02:19:30,762 --> 02:19:31,965
[Elvis] Hmm.
2609
02:19:37,539 --> 02:19:39,071
How are you doing?
2610
02:19:42,542 --> 02:19:44,043
[sighs]
2611
02:19:54,254 --> 02:19:57,424
Honey, there's this place
in San Diego
2612
02:19:57,560 --> 02:19:59,157
that you can go to rest.
2613
02:20:00,230 --> 02:20:01,898
To heal.
2614
02:20:02,034 --> 02:20:03,892
After the show, you can fly
directly and be in a clinic
2615
02:20:04,028 --> 02:20:05,069
before anyone knows.
2616
02:20:05,205 --> 02:20:06,395
It's all been arranged.
2617
02:20:08,804 --> 02:20:11,070
I'm gonna be 40 soon, 'Cilla.
2618
02:20:13,905 --> 02:20:16,105
[whispers] Forty.
2619
02:20:16,240 --> 02:20:18,583
And nobody's gonna remember me.
2620
02:20:21,113 --> 02:20:23,115
I never did anything lasting.
2621
02:20:25,618 --> 02:20:28,656
I never made that classic film
that I could be proud of.
2622
02:20:28,791 --> 02:20:30,925
But what about A Star is Born?
2623
02:20:32,925 --> 02:20:35,226
Uh... [chuckles lightly]
2624
02:20:37,270 --> 02:20:40,396
Barbra... the Colonel...
2625
02:20:41,372 --> 02:20:43,333
[both chuckle]
2626
02:20:46,973 --> 02:20:49,981
[crying softly] Please go.
2627
02:20:50,116 --> 02:20:52,274
For Lisa?
2628
02:20:52,410 --> 02:20:54,817
If you dream it,
you can do it, baby.
2629
02:20:57,048 --> 02:20:58,755
I'm all out of dreams.
2630
02:21:01,325 --> 02:21:02,990
Promise me.
2631
02:21:05,430 --> 02:21:06,829
[Priscilla sniffles]

[imperceptible]
2638
02:22:47,164 --> 02:22:49,533
[Elvis] Did you know
there's a kind of bird
2639
02:22:49,668 --> 02:22:51,865
that doesn't have any legs?
2640
02:22:52,000 --> 02:22:53,903
So it can't land on nothing.
2641
02:22:56,205 --> 02:22:58,303
It lives its whole life
on the wing.
2642
02:23:00,881 --> 02:23:04,644
When it gets tired,
it just spreads its wings
2643
02:23:04,780 --> 02:23:07,147
and sleeps on the wind.
2644
02:23:10,089 --> 02:23:13,450
If it ever does land,
even but one time...
2645
02:23:16,186 --> 02:23:17,795
so it dies.
2646
02:23:21,260 --> 02:23:22,657
[reporter 1] Good evening.
2647
02:23:22,793 --> 02:23:25,934
Elvis Presley died today.
He was 42.
2648
02:23:26,070 --> 02:23:27,838
Apparently,
it was a heart attack.
2649
02:23:27,973 --> 02:23:29,833
He was found in his home
in Memphis...
2650
02:23:29,968 --> 02:23:32,040
[reporter 2] President Carter
has just made a statement...
2651
02:23:32,176 --> 02:23:33,669
[President Carter]
Elvis Presley's death
2652
02:23:33,804 --> 02:23:36,109
deprives our country
of a part of itself.
2653
02:23:36,244 --> 02:23:37,872
He was unique
and irreplaceable.
2654
02:23:38,008 --> 02:23:39,475
[reporter 3] Thousands
of mourners have gathered
2655
02:23:39,611 --> 02:23:41,017
outside the gates
of Graceland...
2656
02:23:41,152 --> 02:23:42,685
[Carter] Using the styles
of white country
2657
02:23:42,820 --> 02:23:44,650
and Black rhythm and blues,
2658
02:23:44,785 --> 02:23:47,391
permanently changed the face
of American popular culture.
2659
02:23:47,527 --> 02:23:49,785
[reporter 4] The outpouring
of grief can be seen
everywhere.
2660
02:23:49,921 --> 02:23:52,621
[Carter] He was a symbol
to people the world over,
2661
02:23:52,756 --> 02:23:55,665
of the vitality,
rebelliousness...
2662
02:23:55,800 --> 02:23:58,836
[Parker] What killed my boy?
2663
02:23:58,971 --> 02:24:02,065
Them doctors say
it was his heart.
2664
02:24:02,200 --> 02:24:04,540
Others, the pills.
2665
02:24:04,676 --> 02:24:08,076
Some say it was me.
2666
02:24:08,211 --> 02:24:11,849
No. I'll tell you
what killed him.
2667
02:24:13,144 --> 02:24:16,178
It was love.
2668
02:24:16,313 --> 02:24:18,587
His love for you.
2669
02:24:18,723 --> 02:24:20,990
[faint applause, cheering]
2670
02:24:21,125 --> 02:24:23,662
You know, a few weeks
before he died,
2671
02:24:23,798 --> 02:24:27,696
I saw him sing
for the very last time.
2672
02:24:27,832 --> 02:24:29,999
He could barely stand up.
2673
02:24:31,295 --> 02:24:33,970
"Unchained Melody."
2674
02:24:34,105 --> 02:24:37,369
From an album called
Unchained Melody.
2675
02:24:37,504 --> 02:24:41,375
Makes a lot of sense. Okay.
[light chuckle]
2676
02:24:41,511 --> 02:24:45,979
[Parker] But that night,
he sang as he always did.
2677
02:24:46,114 --> 02:24:48,319
With all his heart and soul.
2678
02:24:48,455 --> 02:24:49,913
How you like it so far?
2679
02:24:50,048 --> 02:24:52,889
[crowd cheering]
2680
02:24:53,024 --> 02:24:56,389
[Parker] That old voice
rang out,
2681
02:24:56,524 --> 02:25:01,057
-and he sang with all his life.
-[piano piano]
2682

I've hungered
for your touch

So slowly
2688
02:25:30,190 --> 02:25:34,330
And time can do so much
2689
02:25:34,466 --> 02:25:36,730
Are you
2690
02:25:36,865 --> 02:25:41,230
Still mine?
2691
02:25:41,366 --> 02:25:48,275
I need your love, ooh
2692
02:25:49,549 --> 02:25:54,452
I need your love
2693
02:25:54,588 --> 02:26:00,016
God speed your love
2694
02:26:00,151 --> 02:26:04,588
To me
2695
02:26:06,297 --> 02:26:13,363
Lonely rivers flow to the sea
To the sea
2696
02:26:13,498 --> 02:26:19,607
To the open arms of the sea

2698
02:26:22,074 --> 02:26:28,986
Lonely rivers cry
Wait for me
Wait for me
2699
02:26:29,986 --> 02:26:33,292
I'll be coming home
2700
02:26:33,427 --> 02:26:38,496
Wait for me
2701
02:26:38,632 --> 02:26:43,965
My love, my darling
2702
02:26:44,100 --> 02:26:48,632
I've hungered for your kiss
2703
02:26:49,676 --> 02:26:55,875
A long, lonely time
2704
02:26:56,010 --> 02:26:57,443
[Presley]
When I was a child,
ladies and gentlemen,
2705
02:26:57,578 --> 02:26:59,775
I was a dreamer.
I read comic books
2706
02:26:59,911 --> 02:27:02,514
and I was the hero
of the comic book.
2707
02:27:02,650 --> 02:27:05,956
I saw movies and I was
the hero in the movie.
2708
02:27:06,092 --> 02:27:08,055
So every dream
that I ever dreamed
2709
02:27:08,190 --> 02:27:10,456
has come true
a hundred times.
2710
02:27:12,127 --> 02:27:18,794
Are you still mine?
2711
02:27:20,366 --> 02:27:27,308
I need your love, ooh
2712
02:27:30,544 --> 02:27:32,916
I learned very early
in life that...
2713
02:27:33,052 --> 02:27:36,019
"Without a song,
the day would never end,
2714
02:27:36,155 --> 02:27:38,780
without a song,
a man ain't got a friend,
2715
02:27:38,916 --> 02:27:42,019
without a song,
the road would never bend,
2716
02:27:42,154 --> 02:27:43,187
without a song."
2717
02:27:43,323 --> 02:27:45,088
So I keep singing a song.
2718
02:27:45,223 --> 02:27:47,892
To...
2719
02:27:48,028 --> 02:27:51,093

In the ghetto

02:29:12,818 --> 02:29:16,285
And his mama cries

'Cause if there's one thing
that she don't need

People, don't you understand

02:29:31,838 --> 02:29:35,163
The child needs a helping hand

Or he'll grow to be
an angry young man some day
2741

Are we too blind to see?

Well, the world turns...

02:30:06,804 --> 02:30:09,498
[Presley reciting] "You never
stood in that man's shoes
2746
02:30:09,634 --> 02:30:12,034
Or saw things through his eyes
2747
02:30:12,169 --> 02:30:14,603
Or stood and watched
with helpless hands
2748
02:30:14,738 --> 02:30:17,543
While the heart inside you dies
2749
02:30:17,679 --> 02:30:20,345
So help your brother
along the way
2750
02:30:20,481 --> 02:30:23,220
No matter where he starts
2751
02:30:23,356 --> 02:30:28,717
For the same God that made you
Made him, too
2752
02:30:28,852 --> 02:30:31,261
These men with broken hearts"
2753
02:30:32,865 --> 02:30:36,134
And his mama cries
2754
02:30:38,504 --> 02:30:41,272
And a hungry, little boy
with a runny nose
2755
02:30:41,407 --> 02:30:43,773
Plays in the street
as the cold wind blows
2756
02:30:43,908 --> 02:30:45,539
In the ghetto
2757
02:30:49,014 --> 02:30:52,711
And his hunger burns
2758
02:30:54,354 --> 02:30:57,378
So he starts to roam
the streets at night
2759
02:30:57,514 --> 02:30:59,855
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
2760
02:30:59,990 --> 02:31:01,918
In the ghetto
2761
02:31:05,731 --> 02:31:10,935
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
2762
02:31:11,070 --> 02:31:13,632
He buys a gun, steals a car
2763
02:31:13,768 --> 02:31:16,906
Tries to run,
but he don't get far
2764
02:31:17,041 --> 02:31:20,772
And his mama cries
2765
02:31:23,448 --> 02:31:26,217
["Product Of The Ghetto"
by Nardo Wick playing]
2766
02:31:45,162 --> 02:31:48,029
On a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
2767
02:31:48,165 --> 02:31:51,676
Another little baby child
is born
2768
02:31:51,811 --> 02:31:53,640
In the ghetto
2769
02:32:04,088 --> 02:32:07,192
And his mama cries
2770
02:32:17,361 --> 02:32:19,501
["Summer Kisses, Winter Tears"
by Presley playing]
2771
02:32:21,932 --> 02:32:25,870
Summer kisses, winter tears
2772
02:32:30,809 --> 02:32:35,184
Summer kisses, winter tears
2773
02:32:35,319 --> 02:32:39,685
That was what she gave to me
2774
02:32:39,821 --> 02:32:43,685
Never thought
I'd travel all alone
2775
02:32:43,821 --> 02:32:49,993
The trail of memories
2776
02:32:54,805 --> 02:32:57,374
["The King And I" by Eminem
and CeeLo Green playing]
2777
02:35:23,817 --> 02:35:26,016
Don't tiptoe, stomp my ground
2778
02:35:26,152 --> 02:35:28,553
Gotta let 'em know
we're comin'
2779
02:35:28,688 --> 02:35:30,456
Just stay there, woman
2780
02:35:30,592 --> 02:35:32,397
Engine still runnin'
2781
02:35:32,532 --> 02:35:36,466
Get dressed
Like the whole world watchin'
2782
02:35:36,602 --> 02:35:39,829
God bless
Gotta leave 'em shooken
2783
02:35:39,965 --> 02:35:42,039
Girls goin' wild, too cray
2784
02:35:42,175 --> 02:35:44,201
Look at what you made
2785
02:35:44,336 --> 02:35:47,979
Always come correct
There's no turnin' back
2786
02:35:48,115 --> 02:35:50,080
Takin' bigger steps
2787
02:35:50,216 --> 02:35:52,047
That's all I can do
2788
02:35:52,182 --> 02:35:55,679
That's all for the moment
If that's all right with you
2789
02:35:55,814 --> 02:35:57,880
That's all right, Mama
2790
02:35:58,016 --> 02:36:00,057
That's all right with you
2791
02:36:00,192 --> 02:36:01,884
That's all right, Mama
2792
02:36:02,019 --> 02:36:04,693
Anyway you do, that's all right
2793
02:36:05,527 --> 02:36:07,421
That's all right
2794
02:36:07,557 --> 02:36:12,762
That's all right now, Mama
Anyway you do
2795
02:36:12,898 --> 02:36:16,535
We can't go on together
2796
02:36:16,671 --> 02:36:19,103
With suspicious minds
2797
02:36:21,105 --> 02:36:25,049
And we can't build our dreams
2798
02:36:25,185 --> 02:36:28,145
On suspicious minds
2799
02:36:46,397 --> 02:36:48,068
["If I can Dream"
by Maneskin playing]
2800
02:36:48,204 --> 02:36:54,402
There must be peace
and understanding sometime
2801
02:36:55,875 --> 02:36:57,912
Strong winds of promise
2802
02:36:58,047 --> 02:37:03,483
That will blow away
the doubt and fear
2803
02:37:03,619 --> 02:37:07,888
If I can dream of a warmer sun
2804
02:37:08,024 --> 02:37:11,458
Where hope keeps shining
on everyone
2805
02:37:11,594 --> 02:37:15,090
Tell me why, oh, why,
2806
02:37:15,225 --> 02:37:22,067
Oh, why won't that sun appear
2807
02:37:28,105 --> 02:37:30,812
We're lost in a cloud
2808
02:37:31,910 --> 02:37:35,747
With too much rain
2809
02:37:35,882 --> 02:37:39,421
We're trapped in a world
2810
02:37:39,557 --> 02:37:43,288
That's troubled with pain
2811
02:37:43,424 --> 02:37:49,331
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
2812
02:37:49,467 --> 02:37:56,365
He can redeem his soul and fly
2813
02:37:58,275 --> 02:38:01,141
Oh...
2814
02:38:01,277 --> 02:38:07,046
Deep in my heart,
there's a trembling question
2815
02:38:08,720 --> 02:38:12,321
Still I am sure
that the answers
2816
02:38:12,457 --> 02:38:15,826
The answers gonna come somehow
2817
02:38:15,961 --> 02:38:23,568
Out there in the dark,
there's a beckoning candle
2818
02:38:23,703 --> 02:38:27,528
And while I can think,
while I can talk
2819
02:38:27,663 --> 02:38:31,736
While I can stand,
while I can walk
2820
02:38:31,871 --> 02:38:34,403
While I can dream
2821
02:38:35,414 --> 02:38:38,110
Please let my dream
2822
02:38:39,317 --> 02:38:43,687
Come true
2823
02:38:46,885 --> 02:38:50,723
Right now
2824
02:38:50,859 --> 02:38:53,191
Let it come true right now
2825
02:38:54,232 --> 02:38:58,196
Oh, yeah
2826
02:39:03,370 --> 02:39:04,841
-[audience applauding]
-[Presley] Thank you.
2827
02:39:04,976 --> 02:39:06,435
You're fantastic.
Thank you very much.
